Radionuclide Pulmonary Angiography

چکیده
A dramatic case of occlusion of the right pulmonary artery is presented. The diagnosis was clearly established by means of a lung scan and a radionuclide pulmonary angiogram. The entire course of the disease process was followed by radionuclide studies with a gradual but persistent return to normal. Due to the preciseness of the evidence presented, contrast angiography was not.thought necessary.

متن کاملComparison of intravenous digital subtraction angiography with radionuclide ventilation-perfusion lung scanning in patients with suspected pulmonary embolism.
Fifty one patients with suspected pulmonary embolus were studied by radionuclide ventilation-perfusion scanning and intravenous digital subtraction pulmonary angiography. In 31 patients the results of both investigations were reported as negative and in a further 11 both results were reported as positive, giving a concordance rate of 82.3%. In nine patients there was disagreement between the tw...
متن کاملA rare case of coronary fistula evaluated by first-pass radionuclide angiography.
Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is a rare anomaly that originates from the coronary artery and drains into the cardiac chamber or the adjacent vasculature. We report a case of CAF in a 77 years old woman with dyspnea on exertion. Using coronary angiography and cardiac multidetector computed tomography, this patient was diagnosed with CAF draining into the left bronchial arteries. First-pass radio...
متن کاملFocus on pulmonary embolism imaging: where are we?
Purpose: This paper aims to realize an analysis of available radio-imaging methods for outlining various forms of pulmonary embolism (acute or chronic) with highlights on the semiology and adequate medical indications. Methods: There are several types of radiological examinations used in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism such as perfusion scintigraphy V/Q, digital subtraction angiography, co...
