Tissue and Organ Transplantation Has Become Significantly Popular With Kidneys, Liver, ... - 0 views

    Tissue and Organ Transplantation is a complex medical procedure where an organ is transplanted from one human body to another human body, to replace a missing or damaged organ. The patient who has had their organ transplantation may not be aware of what happens during the procedure. The organ transplantation can either take place inside the patient's body, or the patient's body and organs are taken to a different location for transplantation. The transplant can also take place outside the patient's body; however, this is less common. There are two basic ways that Tissue and Organ Transplantation takes place. The first involves a person's own body being used as a donor organ, and this can be done when a person is born, during childhood, or through the age of death. The other method of organ transplantation involves a donor organ coming from another person, usually an older person who is capable of receiving a transplant.

  • Radioisotope Scanning
  • radionuclide scans allow assessment of thyroid function.
  • Technetium pertechnetate (99mTc) is taken up rapidly by the normal activity of follicular cells. It is trapped by follicular cells, but not organified. 99mTc has a short half-life and low radiation dose. Its rapid absorption allows quick evaluation of increased uptake (so-called hot) or hypofunctioning (so-called cold) areas of the thyroid.
  • 123I and 131I iodine scintigraphy is also used to evaluate the functional status of the gland
  • Advantages of scanning with 123I include a low dose of radiation (30 mrad) and short half-life.
  • 123I is a good choice for evaluating suspected lingual thyroids or substernal goiters.
  • 131I has a longer half-life (8 days) and emits higher levels of β-radiation. 131I is optimal for imaging thyroid carcinoma.
  • screening modality of choice for the evaluation of distant metastasis.
