[Nuclear medicine and x-ray findings in Osler's disease of the lung].
Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulae (M. Osler) can usually be well demonstrated by radiological methods. In addition to a chest film and conventional tomography pulmonary angiography is frequently required to obtain a correct diagnosis. We had occasion to examine a patient by computed tomography and sequential scintigraphy. The arteriovenous fistulae could be well detected with both methods by the typical pharmacokinetics of contrast medium and radiopharmacon. By means of computed tomography moreover, the number, the site and the vascular pattern of fistulae could be shown. Sequential scintigraphy provides detailed information about the perfusion times of blood in the heart, fistulae and healthy lung segments.
