2.Some opinions of application of nuclear medicinal techniques in the diagnosis and treatment of the thyroid diseases in Bach Mai hospital.
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1998;225(9, 10):34-38
Several thousands of patients with thyroid diseases were diagnosed and treated using the nuclear medicine techniques: Thyroid Radioiodine Uptake, thyroid related hormones determined by RIA or IRMA, thyroid gland scintigraphy. The effect on such test of the populations used iodine-salt was evaluated by authors, also in 330 patients with thyrotoxicosis were treated by I-131 during from 1998-2000 year. The results indicated that this is one of the best therapeutic methods which should be selected. During the last 20 years, very good achievements of nuclear medicine techniques used in diagnosis and treatment of thyroid diseases were collected at nuclear medicine dep. of Bach Mai hospital, but at the present time the imaging equipment Rectilinear Scanner MB 8100 is old and out of date. It must be changed by single photon emission computer tomography system or gamma camera.

3.Cardiological nuclear medicine
Journal of Medical Research 2005;37(4):83-87
Cardiological nuclear medicine was divided into two parts: diagnosis in vivo and diagnosis in vitro. Diagnosis in vivo need to put radioactive agents into patients, through dynamic and metabolic processes of radioactive agents and by using outside-body devices to gain parameters and images which reflect the physical and functional condition of heart, heart valves and blood supply of coronary arteries. Diagnosis in vitro does not put radioactive agents into patients. It used radioimmunoassays and immunoradiometricassays. Using patients’ blood samples, they quantify some agents with low concentration in blood. These are uninvasive tests with high accuracy that useful in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of various diseases.

4.The situation of nuclear medicine in the region and strategy of development of Vietnam
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 2001;263(9):1-6
According to the situation of the nuclear medicine in the region and world, and Vietnam, the strategy of development of Vietnam was introduced including the situation and task of the health sector, the features and difficulties of establishment and development of the country’s nuclear medicine as well as solution for strategy of the development of the nuclear medicine.

5.Application of the nuclear technique in the medicin
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 1999;232(1):5-9
The application of the artificial radioactive isotopes in the medicine (diagnosis, treatment, prevention and biomedical research) has been developing rapidly. The Vietnam nuclear medical profession contributed to improve the quality of the diagnosis, treatment, functional test and imaging tests of thyroid, kidney, liver, blood and hematopoietic organ, disgestive absorption. Up to 2005, the nuclear medicine will develop the immuno radioactive image, use of radioactive marked specific antibodies to obtain the special tumor image and treatment of cancer by the radioactive suitable agents bound antibodies

6.Long-term outcome of radioactive I-131 in the treatment of patients with hyperthyroidism in Lam Dong General hospital
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 2001;263(9):15-19
We set out to analyse the result of 142 hyperthyroidsm patients, treated with radioiodine from 1987 to 1997, and still on follow-up by the Depar. of Nuclear medicine, Lam Dong General hospital. Among 142 patients studied, there are 123 females, 19 males. Their ages ranged from 19 to 65 years old (mean 35+/-9.8).

7.Review of the treatment of the hyperthyroidism by the radio iodine I-131 in the nuclear medicine of Bach Mai hospital during past 20 years
Journal of Vietnamese Medicine 2001;263(9):68-71
700 patients with the hyperthyroidism were examined according to the physical and disease condition. The classfication of age and gender, the evaluation of the clinical, paraclinical features, the thyroid function before and after the radioiodine therapy, the determination of the usual dosage as well as the complication of therapy were implemented.

PURPOSE: We performed this study to evaluate reliability on interpretation of three phase bone scintigraphy (TPBS) in patients with post-traumatic complex regional pain syndrome (PT-CRPS). METHODS: Based on International Association for the Study of Pain guideline in 1994, 34 patients with PT-CRPS were selected for this study. Two nuclear medicine physicians evaluated identical TPBS according to the uptake pattern, extent and intensity of the lesion, and their agreements (kappa values) were analysed. The final diagnosis based on arbitrary criteria of each physician were compared with those obtained by the criteria for PT-CRPS established in this study, which are hyperactivity on all phases (criteria 1), hyperactivity of whole joints on delayed phase (criteria 2), and hyperactivity of either whole or focal joints on delayed phase (criteria 3). RESULTS: Intra-observer agreements were good for uptake pattern, intensity, and extent on TPBS. Inter-observer agreements were also good, except extent on blood pool phase (0.55). The inter-observer agreements on final diagnosis improved when criteria 1-3 were applied (0.77-0.88), compared to when physician's own criteria were used (0.63). Those also improved from 0.29 to 0.47-0.82 for acute stage, and from 0.37 to 1.0 for chronic stage. The sensitivities of chronic stage were relatively lower to those of acute stage. CONCLUSIONS: Inter-observer's variations in diagnosis of the patients with PT-CRPS using TPBS were observed. These results were attributed to different criteria set by observers. In order to improve agreement on interpretation of TPBS, common positive criteria should be established, especially considering uptake pattern and clinical stages.

Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging 2007;41(4):265-271
Radionuclide therapy has been an important field in nuclear medicine. In radionuclide therapy, relevant evaluation of internally absorbed dose is essential for the achievement of efficient and sufficient treatment of incurable disease, and can be accomplish by means of accurate measurement of radioactivity in body and its changes with time. Recently, the advances of nuclear medicine imaging and multi?modality imaging processing techniques can provide chance of more accurate and easier measurement of the measures commented above, in cooperation of conventional imaging?based approaches. In this review, basic concept for internal dosimetry using nuclear medicine imaging is summarized with several check points which should be considered in real practice.
