Dynamic imaging of the systemic perfusion of a lung cancer: case report.
Dynamic lung circulation scintigraphy employing intravenously administered 99mTc as pertechnetate was used to visualize the pulmonary arterial and systemic arterial circulations in a patient with bronchogenic carcinoma. Computer-processed dynamic images and region-of-interest data were utilized to demonstrate differences between tumor and normal regions regarding pulmonary and systemic blood supplies.
