[Significance of scintigraphic studies in the complex diagnosis of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis].
The aim of the work was to study the role of a scintigraphic examination in the complex diagnosis of disseminated pulmonary tuberculosis. Study was carried out by a computer-assisted gamma-camera with 99mTc pharmaceutical preparation. Combined examination included 55 patients among whom most patients (26 or 65.5%) had a disseminated lung process and 19 (34.5%) had changes circumscribed by 2-3 bilateral segments. The method was proved to be of high informative value. The microcirculatory changes in 47 (85.5%) patients with obvious signs of active pulmonary tuberculosis were more pronounced than those detected by X-ray. Dynamic scintigraphy in 8 (14q.5%) patients with a dubious process activity proved to be an advantageous supplementary method of study.
