Comparison of 131-I-macroaggregated liver scanning and selective hepatic arteriography.

چکیده
The possibility of using 131I-macroaggregated al bumin ( 131I-MAA) intra-arterially in identifying hepatic neoplasms was raised by King, Wood, Morlen and Colapinto in a report of a case of clinical pathologic correlation (1 ) . Blank and Tyson in 1969 injected 131I-MAA through percutaneously placed intra-arterial hepatic catheters in 12 patients, and scans showed positive images of abnormal areas of increased uptake which correlated with negative images of 198Au scans (2 ) . Improved visual detec tion of hepatic neoplasm could be obtained com pared with colloidal †̃311-labeledalbumin injected intravenously (3 ) and colloidal gold (†̃98Au)(4); the latter technique produced liver scans with areas of reduced uptake indicating abnormality. This study using clinical data and an animal cx periment was carried out to compare selective hepatic arteriograms and 131I-MAA and 198Au scans.

Non-contrast-enhanced hepatic MR arteriography with balanced steady-state free-precession and time spatial labeling inversion pulse: optimization of the inversion time at 3 Tesla
BACKGROUND A 3 Tesla (3 T) magnetic resonance (MR) scanner is a promising tool for upper abdominal angiography. However, no report has focused on the contrast behavior of non-contrast-enhanced hepatic MR arteriography at 3 T. PURPOSE To establish the optimal inversion time (TI) for favorable selective visualization of the hepatic arteries on non-contrast-enhanced MR arteriography with time sp...
متن کاملTreatment of haemobilia by selective arterial embolisation.
We report a patient in whom haemobilia occurred after percutaneous liver biopsy. Selective hepatic arteriography showed a fistula between hepatic artery and portal venous system, with appearance of contrast in the biliary tract. Intrahepatic bleeding was stopped by arterial embolisation with a mixture of gelatine foam and sterile dura mater. Cholecytectomy was subsequently required as a haemoch...
متن کاملRelationship of 99mtechnetium labelled macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) uptake by colorectal liver metastases to response following Selective Internal Radiation Therapy (SIRT)
BACKGROUND SIRT is an emerging treatment for liver tumours which relies on the selective uptake by tumour of 90Y microspheres following hepatic arterial injection. Response rates of around 90% are reported. Hepatic arterial injection of MAA gives an indication of the expected distribution of 90Y microspheres within the liver. This study sought to determine if the MAA scan could be predictive of...
متن کاملClinical presentation of hepatic artery thrombosis after liver transplantation in the cyclosporine era.
Hepatic artery thrombosis is a dreadful complication of orthotopic liver transplantation. It should be suspected in cases of fulminant liver failure, delayed bile leak, or intermittent sepsis of unknown cause after liver transplantation. Accurate diagnosis is assisted by ultrasound and computerized tomography scans, but usually requires arteriography. Prompt retransplantation is required in mos...

SUMMARY Macroaggregated serum albumin (MAA) particles labeled with 131iodine (1311) or similar particles-labeled with 99mtechnetium (99mTc) or both types were injected directly into the coronary circulation of 29 patients at the time of conventional coronary arteriography. Radionuclide images of the distribution of these small (10-60 gu) biodegradable particles in the small vessels of the heart...
