Review
The concept of brain death has gained importance in the past few decades to prevent futile attempts to sustain ventilation and blood circulation when the brain has lost all function and to procure beneficial tissues or life-saving organs for transplantation. However, differences remain among professional societies and various study group recommendations, as well as among individual legal statutes, in how brain death is defined and the methodology for which the diagnosis is attained. Furthermore, reports have appeared both in the medical literature and the lay press concerning quality assurance measures in brain death documentation. Scintigraphy is a commonly used technique in the evaluation of brain death and can be performed with the use of either nonspecific tracers, such as Tc99m diethylene triamine pentaacetic acid, or brain-specific tracers, such as Tc99m hexamethylpropyleneamineoxime (HMPAO). Planar imaging, with or without radionuclide angiography, continues to be the mainstay for the scintigraphic confirmation of brain death. Flow with multiprojection static planar imaging with the use of Tc99m HMPAO can be used to evaluate the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebellum. Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can provide cross-sectional information but can be difficult to perform in the context of brain death. The current use of SPECT primarily is supplemental to help differentiate overlying scalp from intracerebral activity. The reliability of SPECT to exclude flow and metabolism in the brainstem remains to be scientifically validated.

Review
Thyroid scintigraphy is performed in cats and dogs and has been used to a limited degree in other species such as the horse. Thyroid scintigraphy is most commonly used to aid in the diagnosis and treatment management of feline hyperthyroidism but is also used in the evaluation of canine hypothyroidism and canine thyroid carcinoma. This article reviews the normal scintigraphic appearance of the thyroid in the cat, the dog, and the horse and the principles of interpretation of abnormal scan results in the cat and the dog. Radioiodine is the treatment of choice for feline hyperthyroidism, and the principles of its use in the cat are reviewed.

Review
The scope of the current article is the clinical role of gamma cameras dedicated for breast imaging and (99m)Tc-MIBI tumor-seeking tracer, as both a screening modality among a healthy population and as a diagnostic modality in patients with breast cancer. Such cameras are now commercially available. The technology utilizing a camera composed of a NaI (Tl) detector is termed breast-specific gamma imaging. The technology of dual-headed camera composed of semiconductor cadmium zinc telluride detectors that directly converts gamma-ray energy into electronic signals is termed molecular breast imaging. Molecular breast imaging system has been installed at the Department of Nuclear medicine at the Tel Aviv Sourasky Medical Center, Tel Aviv in 2009. The article reviews the literature well as our own experience.

Review
For almost three decades, noninvasive radionuclide procedures for the evaluation of renal disease have been important components of nuclear medicine practice. With the introduction of new imaging agents and procedures, these techniques can provide valuable data on perfusion and function of individual kidneys. In general, these procedures are easy to perform and carry a low radiation burden and sedation is not required. Moreover, radionuclide imaging of the genitourinary tract has become an invaluable asset to clinicians in the evaluation of renal parenchyma and urologic abnormalities.
