| These elements include mercury, bromine, cadmium, indium, thallium, lead, and bismuth. |
|
| The patient then has a stress thallium test or, at the preference of the cardiologist, heart catheterisation or coronary angiography. |
|
| However, water-soluble rubidium, cesium, thallium, and silver minerals are virtually nonexistent and should pose no complication. |
|
| My advice is to undergo another test called stress thallium, which will show the amount of involvement of the heart muscle with ischemia. |
|
| It relies on the difference in distribution of a radioactive tracer, such as thallium, at rest and after stress. |
|
| While it represents a short-term alternative, thallium does not have ideal imaging characteristics. |
|
| The way you handle thallium, for example, is different from the way you handle technetium, so management is not as easy as with the technetium. |
|
| Investigations at the BNM-LNHB had not identified any problems arising from the photo-sensitivity of thallium. |
|
| To his surprise, patients who have undergone cardiac examinations using radioactive thallium continue to be hot for up to 30 days. |
|
| When too much thallium circulates in the blood, it invades all the organs of the body, impairing their operation, destroying hair follicles, muscles, and nerves. |
|
| We're okay, because we're using thallium, which is sparing some of the need. |
|
| The COPC that were selected using this process were arsenic, cadmium, chromium, lead, mercury, thallium, zinc, and dioxins and furans. |
|
| Again, thallium and zinc exposure are above the toxicity reference value due to supermarket food consumption. |
|
| Over-exposure to thallium may cause nerve damage, emotional changes, cramps, convulsions and eventually coma which can lead to death caused by respiratory paralysis. |
|
| I have to say that images with thallium are pretty good in today's world because the equipment has made a lot of progress. |
|
| In terms of the cardiac testing, to begin with, 20 years ago you stopped using thallium, for a good reason. |
|
| We're assured that there is a secure supply of thallium coming from cylotrons in a number of different centres. |
|
| For every patient who has a PET scan or a thallium scan, that's one less patient who needs to have a technetium scan. |
|
| A cardiac exam using thallium will result in an approximately 30 millisieverts dosimetry, which is quite high. |
|
| I can say that since 2007, governments and health care providers have developed contingency measures to minimize the impact on patients and that includes using alternate isotopes, such as thallium. |
|
|
|
| In Zhu's case, her roommate, Sun Wei, was the only person who had access to the deadly thallium chemical. |
|
| Doctors thought Litvinenko had been given thallium and only found radioactive polonium 210 with their final test. |
|
| Doctors ruled out both thallium the heavy metal originally blamed for his sickness and radiation. |
|
| A high purity germanium detector was found to produce a better response than a thallium activated sodium iodide crystal. |
|
| A composition for detecting a redox reaction, which comprises a redox reagent system, iodic acid or an iodate, and a monovalent thallium compound. |
|
| In addition to giving them standard stress tests, in which electrical readings of the heart are taken as a patient exercises on a treadmill, the researchers also used thallium scintigraphy. |
|
| For example, in cardiac imaging in our facility we have switched to a tracer called thallium, which can be used quite reliably to image the blood flow in the heart. |
|
| What is her plan and when is she going to release the plan to enable Canadians to have access to isotopes and the thallium that they need for the tests that they require to save their lives? |
|
| We have cancelled on-call service to spare the technetium that we had and have turned toward the less desirable thallium isotope to perform cardiac stress tests. |
|
| Our government has also taken action to identify alternatives to medical isotopes such as thallium and sodium fluoride and the options that are available to those Canadians who require the testing. |
|
| So accurate was her description of thallium poisoning that on at least one occasion it helped solve a case that was baffling doctors. |
|
| We made a decision to switch all our cardiac scans over to thallium, as well as to utilize the PET scanner for profusion imaging, or blood flow imaging. |
|
| As well, our technologists come in on Saturday mornings to do some other scans to help with the load, because the timing for the thallium scans is a little bit different from that of the technetium. |
|
| Many American centres haven't used thallium for a long time and they're looking to us for guidance in terms of how to make that switchover in their departments. |
|
| You said that your thallium production had increased. |
|
| Crystals made of thallium bromide-iodide are used as infrared detectors. |
|
| The second version of the certificate was issued in January 2004 due to the addition of an informational value for titanium, and the removal of an informational value for thallium. |
|
| They ruled out speculation that the heavy metal thallium was to blame for his sickness and also said radiation poisoning was unlikely. |
|
| Gold mineralization is hosted in silty carbonate rocks associated with altered lamprophyre dikes and high levels of arsenic, antimony, mercury and thallium. |
|
| The granites are highly enriched in lithium, boron, caesium and uranium and moderately so in fluorine, gallium, germanium, rubidium, tin, tantalum, tungsten and thallium. |
|
|
|
| Medics in Iraq could then successfully treat the rest of the family, who survived the thallium poisoning, the first since the dictator's overthrow. |
|
| Other mercury isotopes are converted when irradiated with slow neutrons into one another, or formed mercury isotopes which beta decay into thallium. |
|
| Thallium reinjection demonstrates viable myocardium in regions with reverse redistribution. |
