Abstract:
The authors describe a patient with protein-losing enteropathy in whom abnormal intestinal accumulation of tracer occurred during Tc-99m human serum albumin scintigraphy. Abnormal leakage of the radiotracer was observed in the left upper abdomen and was confirmed by Tc-99m MDP scintigraphy. Both Tc-99m HSA scintigraphy and Tc-99m MDP scintigraphy are useful in the detection of protein-losing enteropathy.

Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique that provides crucial insights into the body's physiological functions at a molecular level. It is an indispensable resource for diagnosing, staging, and monitoring various illnesses, notably cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular conditions.

01:29Positron Emission Tomography
Positron emission tomography (PET) is a medical imaging technique involving radiopharmaceuticals — substances that emit short-lived radiation. Although the first PET scanner was introduced in 1961, it took 15 more years before radiopharmaceuticals were combined with the technique and revolutionized its potential.
One of the main requirements of a PET scan is a positron-emitting radioisotope, which is produced in a cyclotron and then attached to a substance used by the part of the body being...
