title: [Angioscintigraphy in benign tumors of the uterus and adnexa uteri].
abstract: Angioscintigraphy was used for examination of 128 patients, of them 91 had tumors of the genital organs, 22 inflammatory adnexal processes and 15 various extragenital diseases. Statistical scintigraphy was performed 5-40 min. after RP intravenous injection at 175-555 MBq. RP injection was followed by dynamic studies, the rate of recording being 1 frame per min. An anterioposterior direct projection with alignment of a gamma-chamber detector over the small pelvic area was used. 99mTc-human serum albumin and erythrocytes labeled in vivo with 99mTc-pyrophosphate served as radioactive markers of the blood pool. A scintigraphic picture in normal and pathology (tumors and inflammatory processes) in the uterus and appendages had characteristics features. Data on a degree of tumor vascularization could be used for recognition of disease as well as for adequate assessment of therapeutic efficacy. The sensitivity of the method was 97%, its specificity--59%, its accuracy--88%.
