Ekeh SU, Chu RY, Ficken VJ, Allen EW, Ryals CJ: Distributions of perfusion and lung water. Int J Rad Appl Instrum B. 1990;17(6):561-5.
We investigated the feasibility of using 123I-iodoantipyrine (123I-IAP) and 99mTc-labeled macroaggregated albumin (99mTc-MAA) to describe and compare the distributions of perfusion and water content in lung injuries. These radiopharmaceuticals were administered to 9 rabbits, 5 control and 4 with lung injuries. Isolated lungs were imaged by a scintillation gamma camera. The distribution of 123I-IAP outlined the entire lung mass whereas perfusion defect in the distribution of 99mTc-MAA was seen clearly in the case of severe lung injury. |
