technetium Tc 99m pyrrolidino-methyltetracycline

09/01/1988 - "This study indicates that delayed Tc-99m-PMT imaging is highly specific in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma."
09/01/1988 - "[Delayed Tc-99m-PMT imaging in the specific diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma]."
09/01/1988 - "There was no significant difference between the positive rates of serum AFP level and the tumor size shown by delayed Tc-99m-PMT imaging in hepatocellular carcinomas. "
09/01/1988 - "In 14 of the 73 patients with established hepatocellular carcinoma, the tumors gave greater radioactivity than that of the surrounding liver tissues, whereas in 31 patients the radioactivity of the tumor equalled the normal liver on delayed Tc-99m-PMT imaging (positive rate 61.6%). "
09/01/1988 - "In 92 (95.8%) of the 96 patients with various hepatic tumors and 25 (86.2%) of the 29 patients with small hepatocellular carcinoma (less than 5 cm), the tumors were localized by early Tc-99m-PMT imaging. "

11/01/1991 - "However, in liver cirrhosis, the liver images was not clear and the cardiac images still existed 40 minutes after administration of Tc-99m-GSA, suggesting that the image quality of the Tc-99m-GSA scintigrams may be inferior to that of Tc-99m-sn-phytate or Tc-99m-PMT in some cases of severe liver dysfunction. "
09/01/1988 - "The results of Tc-99m-PMT imaging on 100 patients with various malignant and benign hepatic diseases verified histologically (73 hepatocellular carcinoma, 3 liver cell adenoma, 1 cholangiocarcinoma, 5 metastatic liver carcinoma, 2 liver cyst, 12 hemangioma, 1 fatty degeneration, 1 liver regeneration, 1 postoperative liver fibrosis and 1 liver cirrhosis) are reported.

"

02/01/2001 - "In two females (58 and 14 years old) with fulminant hepatic failure, Tc-99m-PMT hepatobiliary scintigraphy was used to evaluate intrahepatic bile stagnation, and Tc-99m-GSA scintigraphy to evaluate hepatic functional reserve. "
02/01/2001 - "Unusual early bile excretion from the liver in patients with fulminant hepatic failure as detected by Tc-99m-PMT hepatobiliary scintigraphy; comparison with Tc-99m-GSA scintigraphy."
