The predictive value of hepatic artery perfusion scintigraphy.

چکیده
A case in which hepatic artery perfusion scintigraphy (HAPS) correctly predicted the outcome of chemotherapy in a patient with metastatic liver disease is presented. In spite of angiography showing "proper" position of the Infusaid catheter, HAPS showed preferential perfusion to the right lobe of the liver. Computed tomography pre- and postchemotherapy showed a changing pattern of the metastatic foci correlating with the perfusion demonstrated by HAPS.

The Relation Between Perfusion Pattern of Hepatic Artery Perfusion Scintigraphy and Response to Y-90 Microsphere Therapy
OBJECTIVE Hepatic artery perfusion scintigraphy is a routine procedure for patient evaluation before Y-90 radiomicrosphere therapy and mostly used for prediction of extrahepatic leakage. Moreover, it also displays perfusion pattern of tumours, which is an important parameter on success of the therapy. The aim of this study is to assess the relation between the perfusion pattern on hepatic arter...

Coronary artery disease is one of the most common and important health problems in the world. Early diagnosis of this disease is very important to treat before severe myocardial damage occurred. Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) and computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) which evaluates regional myocardial perfusion and coronary arteries, respectively, are reliable and non-invasi...

Introduction: Asymptomatic diabetic patients are at increased risk of cardiovascular complications. Myocardial perfusion scan may be effective in risk evaluation in this population. Methods: 106 asymptomatic diabetic patients (age: min: 37, max: 82, mean: 57.73±8.88), including 56 females (52.8%) and 50 males (47.2%) were enrolled in the study. Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy was performed b...
