Absent pulmonary uptake on 99mTc MAA perfusion lung scan due to severe right-to-left shunt.
c 5 XTRAPULMONARY accumulation of Tc macroaggregated albumin (MAA) is rarely een on perfusion lung scan, and has been reported n less than 4% of a study population of nearly 380 atients.1 It occurs when the agent bypasses the ungs due to a right-to-left (R-L) cardiac or pulonary shunt, when it is shunted to the portal vein efore reaching the right atrium and ventricle of he heart, and when the ...
متن کاملIntrapulmonary Vascular Dilatation Evaluated by 99mTc-MAA Scintigraphy and Its Association with Portal Hypertension in Schistosomiasis
BACKGROUND Portal hypertension is responsible for various complications in patients with schistosomiasis, among them intrapulmonary vascular dilations (IPVD). In cirrhotic patients the presence of IPVD is a sign of poor prognosis, but in patients with hepatosplenic schistosomiasis (HSS) there are no studies assessing the significance of this change. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occ...
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 کاملExtrathyroidal uptake from thyroid carcinoma on 99mTc-pertechnetate scintigraphy.
Three cases of imaging with 99mTc-pertechnetate (99mTcO4) and unusual positive lymph node uptake in the neck are reported hereby. Two cases were later diagnosed to be well-differentiated thyroid carcinoma, (DTC) with nodal metastasis. The third was a confirmed case of carcinoma thyroid that had presented with mass in the neck soon after surgery, being prepared for ablative dose of radioactive i...
متن کاملDynamic perfusion MRI versus perfusion scintigraphy: prediction of postoperative lung function in patients with lung cancer.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the capability of dynamic perfusion MRI as an alternative to pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy for prediction of postoperative lung function in patients with lung cancer. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. Sixty patients with lung cancer (35 men, 25 women) underwent dynamic perfusion MRI, perfusion scintigraphy, and preoperative and postoperative pulmonary...
