title: Imaging patterns of vascular lesions of the head and neck demonstrated by Tc-99m labeled red blood cells.
abstract: The authors report on three patients with head and neck masses who demonstrated different imaging patterns on Tc-99m RBC scintigraphy, suggesting different vascular pathology of the lesions. Defining these patterns can be helpful in the diagnosis and decision making concerning the appropriate treatment of these patients.
