Prediction of myocutaneous adverse side effect due to intra-arterial chemotherapy by intra-arterial (99m)Tc-macroaggregated albumin administration in patients with bone and soft-tissue tumors.
UNLABELLED In malignant bone and soft-tissue tumors, intra-arterial chemotherapy and limb-saving surgery have become popular. Myocutaneous inflammatory change and necrosis are the major local side effects of intra-arterial chemotherapy. (99m)Tc-macroaggregated albumin (MAA) imaging with intra-arterial tracer administration was performed to evaluate drug distribution, and the ability of (99m)Tc-...
متن کاملRecent advances in hepatopulmonary syndrome.
Hepatopulmonary syndrome is defined as the clinical triad of advanced liver disease, arterial deoxygenation and intrapulmonary vascular dilatation. Its pathogenesis is not completely understood. Excessive pulmonary nitric oxide production seems to be one of the factors that contribute to the intrapulmonary vascular dilatation. Other mediators such as endothelin-1 and the heme oxygenase-1/carbon...
متن کاملClinical Evaluation of a New 99mTc-MAA Kit for Lung Scanning
Lung scanning has been recognized as a clinically useful technique for portraying macroscopic pulmonary perfusion defects since it was first reported by Wagner in 1964 (1 ). A number of radiopharmaceuticals have been proposed to assess pulmonary perfusion. Although 1 3 1 I imposes many limitations as a radiotagging agent, the use of iodinated macroaggregated albumin (I-MAA) has received wide ac...
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...
