Megjegyzések:	A non-invasive nuclear medicine technique was developed to screen patients with painful hands so as to separate patients with a normal from those with an abnormal microcirculation of the hands in different clinical conditions. Such a technique is important, as the other methods available are either subjective or rather complicated. The study population consisted of 10 healthy individuals, 23 patients with Raynaud's syndrome and 15 patients with mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD). Sixty gamma-camera images of the hands (1 s each) were recorded after a bolus injection of 99Tcm-DTPA via a dorsal foot vein. Regions of interest were drawn on the summed images around the fingers and the palmar region. The fingers-to-palm ratio was then calculated from the total counts inside these regions of interest separately for each hand. The mean fingers-to-palm ratio was 0.94+/-0.18 (0.71-1.25) for the healthy group, 0.57+/-0.22 (0.21+/-1.11) for the MCTD group and 0.40+/-0.14 (0.18-0.77) for the Raynaud's patients. Analysis of variance showed these differences to be highly significant (P < 0.001). There were also significant differences between 6 MCTD patients in an active (mean 0.48) and nine patients in an inactive (mean 0.66) clinical state (two-sample t-test: P < 0.05). There were no significant differences between the fingers-to-palm ratios of the left and right hands of the same patients (one-sample t-test). Of the 23 primary Raynaud's patients, capillary microscopic data were pathological in only eight (34%). We conclude that our method is able to differentiate between patients with normal and those with abnormal microcirculation of the hands. Although measurement of the fingers-to-palm ratio is not a specific method, it is useful both for staging and in the follow-up of patients.
