In this video an allergic reaction to the PET-tracer is mentioned. After 6 years in nuclear medicine I never have seen any reaction to a PET-Tracer. Why? In most cases we use Glucose (FDG-PET) - there is no life without Glucose so allergy is reasonably uncommon. Usually the amounts of substance we need for Imaging are are far below the amounts to induce an allergic reaction. E.g. to perform a radioablation of the thyroid gland after oncologic resection we need at max twice the physiologic amount of iodine which is deliverd with normal eating every day . So if someone suffers from the most horrific anaphylaxis against iodine, we still are on the safe side to perform therapy without even thinkin about anaphylaxis. The normal Ingestion of iodine per day in salt should be roughly around 200 micrograms (depending on iodination of salt by authorities). In case of proven anaphylaxis a factor of around 1000 times more of iodine than internationally used for radioablation has been administered (contrast agent, amiodarone). So there are no reports of anaphylaxis in radioablation with iodine131. Still we ask our radiophycicists to calculate the absorbed dose.
I guess Im asking randomly but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account? I somehow lost my account password. I love any tips you can offer me.
@Otis Aldo I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and I'm trying it out atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
0:54 radiowaves in MRI aren´t 10,000-30,000 times stronger than the magnetic field of earth. They only have a magnitude of 10^-4 tesla, which is around two times stronger than the magnetic field of earth. You confused the static magnetic field B_0 (this one is more than 10,000 times stronger) with the time dependend magnetic field B_1 which is in the frequency domain of radiowaves.
M.R.I Scan is an crazy idea !! 🤔 Magnetic fields from 10.000 to 30.000 stronger than the earth magnetic field making the hydrogen nuclei to change position then when returning to their position creating their own radiation and generating imaging picking up by the scan!! Wow
I can't have the MRI now because of bullets fragments and left hip replacement joint in my hip. Now im looking at having both knees need replacement surgery for new joints for the knees.
Just for clarification. According to Neurology Book (Adams and Victor's Principles of Neurology), a study shows that there were no discernible adverse effects found on fetus.
It would have been helpful to have someone who speaks clearly or at least not use background music as I had to replay some parts over again to try to decipher what was being said.
shall be suing him fo punching ma mover, dam ill say it I killed his dog but that mudafaka deserves it!! slap my sack im not causing drama! you are just haters and toxic
