Radionuclide evaluation of pleural-peritoneal shunt before pleurodesis.

Abstract:

OBJECTIVES:Talc pleurodesis can be offered to patients with hepatic hydrothorax. The authors wanted to determine their patient's eligibility for talc pleurodesis by excluding a pleural-peritoneal shunt. MATERIALS AND METHODS:The authors measured the size of the talc particles and matched them with the radionuclide particle size. After injecting radiopharmaceutical into the pleura, the authors imaged the abdomen for possible migration. RESULTS:In their patient, there was no migration of radionuclide from the thorax into the abdomen. CONCLUSION:Injecting radionuclide into the thoracic cavity and then imaging for an extended period of time is one way to determine whether the patient has a pleural-peritoneal shunt.

  • A comparison of the tumor-seeking agent Tc-99m(V) dimercaptosuccinic acid and the renal imaging agent Tc-99m dimercaptosuccinic acid in humans.

    abstract::Being aware of the ideal nuclear properties of Tc-99m, our interest has been focused on the design of the (+5) oxidation state Tc-99m(V) dimercaptosuccinic acid (Tc(V)-DMSA) as a tumor-seeking agent.
