Abstract:
In cardiac nuclear imaging, the liver is mostly remembered as a source of artifact in the left ventricular inferior wall. However, the liver may eventually display unexpected findings, which draw attention to significant noncardiac disease. In a patient referred for myocardial perfusion SPECT to investigate atypical chest pain, focal areas of increased tracer uptake revealed intrahepatic biliary dilatation.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
