The Scintigrafic detection of inflammation in patients examined in the Motol University Hospital since 2007 to 2009.
BRHEL, Jan
This bachelor?s thesis outlines an attempt to describe, to the professional public, the principles of imaging of inflammation in the human body using the methods of nuclear medicine. Two types of imaging of inflammation are described: scintigraphy of labeled leukocytes in vitro and scintigraphy of labeled leukocytes in vivo. The course of the examination, preparation and use of radiopharmaceuticals, indications, contraindications, imaging, etc. are described for both types of methods. The next section of thesis consists in comparsion and evaluation of the data obtained from the hospital system (UNIS), relating to the above tests in 2007 ? 2009 at the University Hospital in Motol employing European standards in nuclear medicine. The results are presented in the from of tables and graphs. The work was intended to confirm the hypothesis mentioned in the bachelor?s thesis and to create an overall idea of the quantities of these tests. Last but not least, it is useful to compare the competitiveness of nuclear medicine with other imaging methods, such as computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
