High cardiac background activity limits 99mTc-MIBI radioguided surgery in aortopulmonary window parathyroid adenomas
Schwarzlmüller, Thomas; Brauckhoff, Katrin; Løvås, Kristian; Biermann, Martin; Brauckhoff, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-04-23)Background: Radioguided surgery using 99m-Technetium-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) has been recommended for the surgical treatment of mediastinal parathyroid adenomas. However, high myocardial 99mTc-MIBI uptake ... -
Impact of EMG Changes in Continuous Vagal Nerve Monitoring in High-Risk Endocrine Neck Surgery
Brauckhoff, Katrin; Vik, Renate Kollevåg; Sandvik, Lorentz; Heimdal, John-Helge; Aas, Turid; Biermann, Martin; Brauckhoff, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016-03)Background: Continuous vagal intraoperative neuromonitoring (CIONM) of the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) may reduce the risk of RLN lesions during high-risk endocrine neck surgery such as operation for large goiter ... -
Latencies longer than 3.5 ms after vagus nerve stimulation does not exclude a nonrecurrent inferior laryngeal nerve
Brauckhoff, Michael; Naterstad, Helle; Brauckhoff, Katrin; Biermann, Martin; Aas, Turid (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2014-08-28)Background: It has recently been reported that a signal latency shorter than 3.5 ms after electrical stimulation of the vagus nerve signify a nonrecurrent course of the inferior laryngeal nerve. We present a patient with ... -
Post-PET ultrasound improves specificity of 18F-FDG-PET for recurrent differentiated thyroid cancer while maintaining sensitivity
Biermann, Martin; Kråkenes, Jostein; Brauckhoff, Katrin; Haugland, Hans Kristian; Akslen, Lars A.; Heinecke, A.; Varhaug, Jan Erik; Brauckhoff, Michael (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2015-03-13)Background: Positron emission tomography (PET) using fluor-18-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) with or without computed tomography (CT) is generally accepted as the most sensitive imaging modality for diagnosing recurrent differentiated ...
