Radionuclide angiography in pulmonary sequestration.
We report a case diagnosed as pulmonary sequestration by radionuclide angiography prior to operation which showed anomalous arteries. Radionuclide angiography clearly revealed the condition of both the pulmonary artery and aorta, and is considered to be extremely useful in the diagnosis of pulmonary sequestration. It will probably be applied to more patients in the future.
