Reverse discordant behavior and progressive filling of a cold nodule on Tc-99m pertechnetate thyroid imaging.

The authors report on a patient with reverse discordant behavior between Tc-99m pertechnetate and I-131 associated with progressive filling of a cold nodule on the Tc-99m pertechnetate thyroid scan. Possible mechanisms are discussed.

Technetium-99m HMPAO imaging in Sturge-Weber syndrome.

The Tc-99m HMPAO brain imaging confirmed marked hypoperfusion secondary to anomalous cerebral venous drainage of the Sturge-Weber syndrome. Until now, this had been a hypothesis suggested by results obtained from conventional brain scans and cerebral arteriography.
