متن کاملDistribution of lung blood on modified bilateral Glenn shunt evaluated by Tc-99m-MAA lung perfusion scintigraphy
The aim of the present study was to determine the distribution of lung blood in a modified bilateral Glenn procedure designed in our institute with lung perfusion scintigraphy. Sixteen consecutive patients who underwent modified bilateral Glenn operation from 2011 to 2014 were enrolled in the study. The control group consisted of 7 patients who underwent bidirectional Glenn shunt. Radionuclide ...
متن کاملCase Report: Brown Fat Accumulation of Tc-99m Macroaggregated Albumin in a Lung Perfusion Study in a Patient With Multiple Lung Arteriovenous Malformations and Right-to-Left Shunting
An 18-year-old man was preoperatively assessed for a varicocele and found to be hypoxemic. A Tc-99m macroaggregated albumin lung perfusion scan showed right-to-left shunting, evidenced by increased radiotracer uptake in the brain, kidneys, thyroid gland, and bilateral supraclavicular areas, a typical location for brown adipose tissue. Chest computerized tomography angiogram study showed supracl...
متن کاملPortosystemic shunting in superior vena cava obstruction by tumor demonstrated on ventilation-perfusion lung scan.
Extrapulmonary deposition of macroaggregated albumin particles on lung perfusion scintigraphy occurs in the presence of right-to-left shunting, as demonstrated in this case of portosystemic shunting related to superior vena cava obstruction by germ cell tumor of the mediastinum. The case demonstrates the importance of examining tracer deposition within the entire field of view on (99m)Tc-macroa...
متن کاملPersonalized predictive lung dosimetry by technetium-99m macroaggregated albumin SPECT/CT for yttrium-90 radioembolization
BACKGROUND For yttrium-90 ((90)Y) radioembolization, the common practice of assuming a standard 1,000-g lung mass for predictive dosimetry is fundamentally incongruent with the modern philosophy of personalized medicine. We recently developed a technique of personalized predictive lung dosimetry using technetium-99m ((99m)Tc) macroaggregated albumin (MAA) single photon emission computed tomogra...
