Occult intestinal bleeding imaged by technetium-99m-HSA-D radionuclide angiography: a case report.
Radionuclide angiography (RNA) with 99mTc-diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid human serum albumin (99mTc-HSA-D) is a sensitive screening method for diagnosing systemic perfusion abnormalities. Sometimes the results produce unexpected information. This information is helpful when considering the clinical perfusion pathophysiology. Recently, we were able to detect an intestinal bleeding lesion clearly for a patient by using RNA.
