[Scintigraphic procedures in internal medicine--indications, limits, possibilities]

Scintigraphy continues to play an important diagnostic role in internal medicine. Many diagnostic questions can only be answered with scintigraphic methods. The application of specific radiopharmaceutical tracers offers the unique possibility to visualize ongoing functional changes, associated with diseases concerning internal medicine. The diagnostic potential of modern scintigraphic procedures such as PET for internal medicine is not yet sufficiently used and will continue to grow with hybrid systems, such as PET-CT and SPECT-CT.     «
