Imaging Idiopathic Chylopericardium With 99mTc-SC Lymphoscintigraphy and SPECT/CT.

abstract：:Venous malformations of the parotid glands are uncommon and can be difficult to confirm on routine anatomical imaging alone because of overlap of imaging features with other more common parotid lesions. (99m)Tc RBC scans combined with SPECT/CT offer a noninvasive way to diagnose parotid venous malformations without th...
