Thyroid scintigraphy using coded apertures derived from a complex Fresnel zone plate
Description
Comparative evaluations of conventional scintiscanning and Fresnel zone plate imaging carried out in the thyroid for the purposes of this study showed that the purported benefits of the latter technique were confirmed by phantoms but did to a lesser extent bear out in patients. Major drawbacks are the lack of additional information of clinical relevance, the greater length of time needed and the difficult interpretation of artefacts. (TRV)

Ein Vergleich konventioneller szintigraphischer Verfahren mit der Abbildung durch Fresnel-Zonenplatten am Beispiel der Schilddruese zeigt, dass am Phantom theoretisch vorausgesagte Vorteile bestaetigt werden, am Patienten nur zum Teil. Keine klinisch relevanten Zusatzinformationen. Groesserer zeitlicher Aufwand, Interpretationsprobleme von Artefakten. (TRV)
