When a radiation incident occurs in nuclear medicine in Australia, the incident is reported to the relevant state or territory authority, which performs an investigation and sends its findings to the Australian Radiation Protection and Nuclear Safety Agency. The agency then includes these data in its Australian Radiation Incident Register and makes them available to the public as an annual summary report on its website. The aim of this study was to analyze the radiation incidents included in these annual reports and in the publically available state and territory registers, identify any recurring themes, and make recommendations to minimize future incidents. Methods: A multidisciplinary team comprising a nuclear medicine technologist, a radiation therapist, and a diagnostic radiographer analyzed all nuclear medicine technology–, radiation therapy–, and diagnostic radiography–related incidents recorded in the Australian Radiation Incident Register and in the registers of New South Wales, Western Australia, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania between 2003 and 2015. Each incident was placed into 1 of 18 categories, and each category was examined to determine any recurring causes of the incidents. Results: We analyzed 209 nuclear medicine incidents. Their primary cause was failure to comply with time-out protocols (85.6%). By analyzing both the causes and the rates of radiation incidents, we were able to recommend ways to help prevent them from being repeated. Conclusion: Information drawn from the Australian Radiation Incident Register and 5 state registers has revealed steps that can be taken by any nuclear medicine department to prevent repetition of the incidents that have already occurred.
当澳大利亚的核医学领域发生辐射事件时,该事件会报告给相关的州或地区当局,由后者进行调查,并将调查结果提交给澳大利亚辐射防护和核安全局。然后,该机构将这些数据纳入其澳大利亚辐射事件登记册,并在其网站上作为年度总结报告向公众提供。本研究的目的是分析包括在这些年度报告和公开的州和地区登记册中的辐射事件,确定任何反复出现的主题,并提出建议,以尽量减少未来的事件。方法:由一名核医学技术专家、一名放射治疗师和一名放射诊断技师组成的多学科团队分析了2003年至2015年期间澳大利亚辐射事件登记册以及新南威尔士州、西澳大利亚州、维多利亚州、南澳大利亚州和塔斯马尼亚州登记册中记录的所有核医学技术、放射治疗和放射诊断相关事件。每个事件被分为18个类别中的1个,每个类别都被检查以确定事件的任何重复原因。结果:对209例核医学事故进行分析。他们的主要原因是未能遵守超时协议(85.6%)。通过分析辐射事件的原因和发生率,我们能够提出有助于防止它们再次发生的方法。结论:从澳大利亚辐射事件登记处和5个州登记处获得的信息揭示了任何核医学部门可以采取的步骤,以防止已经发生的事件再次发生。

Throughout the years, the role of nuclear medicine departments in the care of renal patients has changed as a result of technologic advancements and other factors. This study evaluated the current role of nuclear renal imaging. Methods: A survey was generated with questions about patient populations, the clinical indications most often seen, radiopharmaceutical use, measurement techniques, the average number of scans completed, and medical center/transplant team affiliations. The survey was sent to recipients on a mailing list acquired from the Nuclear Medicine Technology Certification Board. Results: Most of the responses came from departments in the southeastern United States. Most of the patient population is suburban. Nephrologists are the most common referring physicians for renal imaging. Most departments complete fewer than 10 renograms per month, and most departments use 99mTc-mercaptoacetyltriglycine as the radiopharmaceutical of choice. A camera-based measurement technique is used most often. Most departments report being affiliated with a medical center, but only about half of those medical centers perform renal transplantation. The most commonly seen clinical indication for renal imaging is renal obstruction, whereas the least commonly seen is urine leakage. Conclusion: These results provide a better understanding of the current role of nuclear medicine in the care of renal patients and how this role has changed over the years.
多年来,由于技术进步和其他因素,核医学部门在肾脏患者护理中的作用发生了变化。本研究评估了核磁共振肾显像目前的作用。方法:对患者群体、最常见的临床适应症、放射性药物的使用、测量技术、完成的平均扫描次数以及医疗中心/移植团队的隶属关系等问题进行调查。这项调查是通过从核医学技术认证委员会获得的邮件列表发送给收件人的。结果:大多数回复来自美国东南部的部门。大部分病人都住在郊区。肾内科医生是肾脏成像最常见的转诊医生。大多数科室每月完成的肾图少于10个,大多数科室使用99mt -巯基乙酰甘油三酯作为首选放射性药物。最常用的是基于相机的测量技术。大多数科室报告隶属于医疗中心,但只有大约一半的医疗中心进行肾移植。肾脏影像学最常见的临床指征是肾梗阻,而最不常见的是尿漏。结论:这些结果提供了一个更好的理解目前核医学在肾病患者护理中的作用,以及这一作用是如何改变的。

The human epidermal growth factor 2 (HER2)–overexpressing (HER2-positive [HER2+]) gastric (GC) and gastroesophageal junction adenocarcinomas (GEJC) are felt to represent a more aggressive form of disease, which may correlate to increased metabolic activity. Whether tumor SUVmax measured by 18F-FDG PET/CT could be a preoperative parameter used to predict HER2 status of GC/GEJC is unknown. Methods: Pathology reports of HER2+ GC/GEJC biopsies and resections from 31 patients were reviewed and compared with HER2-negative (HER2−) cases distributed evenly over the same time period. We analyzed their SUVmax intensity and then compared the HER2 status and SUVmax parameters and their association with survival. Results: After matching for age and sex, there was no difference in SUVmax between HER2+ and HER2− cases (9.7 and 8.4, respectively; P = 0.6). No difference was seen between HER2+ and HER2− cases in tumor histology (81% and 57% intestinal type, respectively; P = 0.11), size (2.6 and 3.8 cm, respectively; P = 0.12), differentiation (47% and 68% poorly differentiated, respectively; P = 0.06), or presence of lymph node metastasis (60% and 40%, respectively; P = 0.3). Although there was no difference in survival demonstrated by HER2+ and HER2− cases, there was a significant difference in survival between SUVmax above (12.2 mo) and below (30 mo) the median SUVmax (6.6, P = 0.01). Conclusion: Our study shows that SUVmax is not associated with HER2 status of GC/GEJC. Independent of HER2 overexpression, patients with a high SUVmax demonstrate a worse overall survival, suggesting that metabolic signature is a better predictor of biologic tumor aggressiveness than its histologic signature.
人表皮生长因子2 (HER2)过表达(HER2阳性[HER2+])的胃(GC)和胃食管交界处腺癌(GEJC)被认为是一种更具侵袭性的疾病,可能与代谢活性增加有关。18F-FDG PET/CT测量的肿瘤SUVmax是否可以作为预测GC/GEJC HER2状态的术前参数尚不清楚。方法:回顾31例患者的HER2+ GC/GEJC活检和切除术的病理报告,并与同期均匀分布的HER2阴性(HER2−)病例进行比较。我们分析了他们的SUVmax强度,然后比较了HER2状态和SUVmax参数及其与生存的关系。结果:在匹配年龄和性别后,HER2+和HER2 -病例的SUVmax无差异(分别为9.7和8.4;P = 0.6)。HER2+和HER2−病例在肿瘤组织学上无差异(肠道型分别为81%和57%;P = 0.11),尺寸(分别为2.6和3.8 cm;P = 0.12),分化(低分化分别为47%和68%;P = 0.06),或存在淋巴结转移(分别为60%和40%;P = 0.3)。虽然HER2+和HER2−病例的生存期没有差异,但SUVmax高于(12.2个月)和低于(30个月)中位SUVmax之间的生存期存在显著差异(6.6,P = 0.01)。结论:我们的研究表明SUVmax与GC/GEJC的HER2状态无关。独立于HER2过表达,SUVmax高的患者表现出更差的总生存期,这表明代谢特征比其组织学特征更能预测肿瘤的生物侵袭性。

We herein report an unusual case of a 55-y-old woman with papillary carcinoma of the thyroid, who presented with multiple recurrences, with its subsequent evolution to tall cell variant and thyroglobulin-elevated negative iodine scintigraphy (TENIS) syndrome. During the course of the disease the lesions became non–iodine-concentrating with an increased proportion of tall cells and evidence of local and distant metastasis. Molecular analysis of the tissue specimen demonstrated BRAFV600E and I582 M mutations along with upregulation of tumor markers in metastatic tissue. The presence of BRAFV600E mutation and other markers warrants further investigation in future studies to define their precise implications for determining the aggressiveness and development into tall cell variant and TENIS.
我们在此报告一例罕见的55岁女性甲状腺乳头状癌,其表现为多次复发,随后演变为高细胞变异和甲状腺球蛋白升高的负碘闪烁显像(TENIS)综合征。在疾病过程中,病变变得非碘浓缩,高细胞比例增加,有局部和远处转移的证据。组织标本的分子分析显示BRAFV600E和I582 M突变以及转移组织中肿瘤标志物的上调。BRAFV600E突变和其他标记的存在值得在未来的研究中进一步研究,以确定它们在确定高细胞变异和TENIS的侵袭性和发展中的确切含义。

The purpose of this research was to evaluate the need to use heparin when preparing an UltraTag red blood cell (RBC) kit for a nuclear medicine study. Methods: Nonheparinized blood samples (n = 15) and heparinized blood samples (n = 15) were added to UltraTag RBC kits. The samples were examined for macroscopic blood clotting and microscopic platelet clumping. As a control, samples with heparin (n = 15) and without heparin (n = 15) were used to help evaluate the effectiveness of the anticoagulant properties within the UltraTag RBC kit (sodium citrate) and whether those properties played a role in preventing clots or clumps. To detect clotting, the wooden applicator stick method was used. To detect clumping, blood smears were evaluated using a light microscope. The two samples were compared for presence of clots and clumps. Fisher exact testing was used to evaluate the significance of the data. Results: For the UltraTag RBC group, 2 of the 15 nonheparinized samples clotted and none of the 15 heparinized samples clotted; for the control group, 2 of the 15 nonheparinized samples clotted and none of the 15 heparinized samples clotted. For the Ultra-Tag RBC group, 3 of the 15 nonheparinized samples clumped and 3 of the 15 heparinized samples clumped; for the control group, 15 of the 15 nonheparinized samples clumped and 10 of the 15 heparinized samples clumped. Conclusion: When heparin is not used, the Ultra-Tag RBC kit is more likely to form clots. Heparin should always be used when preparing an Ultra-Tag RBC kit for a nuclear medicine study.
本研究的目的是评估在核医学研究中制备超标记红细胞(RBC)试剂盒时使用肝素的必要性。方法:将非肝素化血样(n = 15)和肝素化血样(n = 15)加入到UltraTag红细胞检测试剂盒中。检查样品的宏观凝血和微观血小板结块。作为对照,使用含肝素(n = 15)和不含肝素(n = 15)的样品来帮助评估UltraTag RBC试剂盒(柠檬酸钠)中抗凝特性的有效性,以及这些特性是否在预防血栓或凝块中起作用。采用木棒法检测凝血情况。为了检测结块,使用光学显微镜评估血液涂片。比较两种样品是否存在凝块和团块。采用Fisher精确检验来评价数据的显著性。结果:对于UltraTag RBC组,15例非肝素化样本中有2例发生凝血,15例肝素化样本中无一例发生凝血;对于对照组,15个非肝素化样本中有2个凝血,15个肝素化样本中没有一个凝血。对于Ultra-Tag RBC组,15个非肝素化样本中有3个结块,15个肝素化样本中有3个结块;对于对照组,15个非肝素化样本中有15个结块,15个肝素化样本中有10个结块。结论:当不使用肝素时,Ultra-Tag RBC试剂盒更容易形成血栓。为核医学研究准备超标记红细胞试剂盒时,应始终使用肝素。

Methods: Nonheparinized blood samples (n = 15) and heparinized blood samples (n = 15) were added to UltraTag RBC kits. The samples were examined for macroscopic blood clotting and microscopic platelet clumping. As a control, samples with heparin (n = 15) and without heparin (n = 15) were used to help evaluate the effectiveness of the anticoagulant properties within the UltraTag RBC kit (sodium citrate) and whether those properties played a role in preventing clots or clumps. To detect clotting, the wooden applicator stick method was used. To detect clumping, blood smears were evaluated using a light microscope. The two samples were compared for presence of clots and clumps. Fisher exact testing was used to evaluate the significance of the data. Results: For the UltraTag RBC group, 2 of the 15 nonheparinized samples clotted and none of the 15 heparinized samples clotted; for the control group, 2 of the 15 nonheparinized samples clotted and none of the 15 heparinized samples clotted. For the Ultra-Tag RBC group, 3 of the 15 nonheparinized samples clumped and 3 of the 15 heparinized samples clumped; for the control group, 15 of the 15 nonheparinized samples clumped and 10 of the 15 heparinized samples clumped.

Rare Occurrence of Hypergastrinemia Due to Thoracic Neuroendocrine Tumor: Detection and Characterization by 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT 罕见的胸神经内分泌肿瘤所致高胃泌素血症:68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT的检测与表征

Hypergastrinemia is a prominent feature of a segment of gastroenteropancreatic neuroendocrine tumors, the gastrinomas, occurring mostly in the gastrinoma triangle. Hypergastrinemia due to a thoracic neuroendocrine tumor is a very rare occurrence, with a paucity of literature elucidating the same. We report a case of thoracic neuroendocrine tumor in a patient who had initially presented with symptoms of peptic ulcer disease of 3-y duration. On evaluation, the patient’s fasting serum gastrin levels were found to be raised. Conventional imaging modalities and endoscopic evaluation did not identify the location of a possible gastrinoma or any other mass in the abdomen. In view of the hypergastrinemia, somatostatin receptor–targeted imaging with 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT was undertaken and showed a somatostatin receptor–expressing paravertebral mass next to the thoracic aorta in the left lung. The mass was excised and was histopathologically suggestive of metastatic neuroendocrine tumor (MIB-1 labeling index, 2%). The present case underscores the importance of 68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT in both detecting and characterizing a causative lesion missed on contrast-enhanced CT, especially when the lesion is not easily amenable to biopsy.
高胃泌素血症是胃肠胰神经内分泌肿瘤胃泌素瘤的一个显著特征,主要发生在胃泌素瘤三角区。胸神经内分泌肿瘤引起的高胃泌素血症是一种非常罕见的现象,缺乏文献阐明。我们报告一例胸椎神经内分泌肿瘤患者最初表现为持续3年的消化性溃疡症状。经评估,发现患者空腹血清胃泌素水平升高。常规的成像方式和内镜评估不能确定胃泌素瘤或腹部任何其他肿块的位置。鉴于高胃泌素血症,采用68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT进行生长抑素受体靶向显像,显示左肺胸主动脉旁一表达生长抑素受体的椎旁肿块。肿块被切除,组织病理学提示转移性神经内分泌肿瘤(MIB-1标记指数,2%)。本病例强调了68Ga-DOTATATE PET/CT在检测和表征对比增强CT遗漏的病因病变方面的重要性,特别是当病变不易活检时。
