Simultaneous demonstration of pleural effusion and ascites by technetium-99m sulfur colloid liver-spleen scintigraphy.
Scintigraphic evidence of ascites has been observed in Tc-99m sulfur colloid studies of the liver and spleen, in Tc-99m HIDA hepatobiliary scans, in Ga-67 citrate scans, and in Tc-99m phosphonate bone images. Pleural effusion has been demonstrated in Tc-99m phosphonate bone scintigraphy. The case of a 48-year-old man whose Tc-99m sulfur colloid liver-spleen scintigram simultaneously demonstrated a right pleural effusion and ascites is presented.
