D008545	Melanoma	A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D008875	Middle Aged	An adult aged 45 - 64 years.	Middle Age
D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D000328	Adult	A person having attained full growth or maturity. Adults are of 19 through 44 years of age. For a person between 19 and 24 years of age, YOUNG ADULT is available.	Adults
D014018	Tissue Distribution	Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios.	Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
D017256	Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi	A technetium imaging agent used to reveal blood-starved cardiac tissue during a heart attack.	99mTc-Hexamibi,99mTc-Sestamibi,Tc MIBI,Cardiolite,Tc-99m-Methoxy-2-isobutylisonitrile,Technetium Tc 99m 2-Methoxy-2-methylpropylisonitrile,Technetium Tc 99m Sestamibi Chloride,Technetium-99m-Hexamibi,Technetium-99m-Sestamibi,99mTc Hexamibi,99mTc Sestamibi,Tc 99m Methoxy 2 isobutylisonitrile,Technetium 99m Hexamibi,Technetium 99m Sestamibi,Technetium Tc 99m 2 Methoxy 2 methylpropylisonitrile
