Diffuse pulmonary uptake of 99mTc bone-imaging agents: case report and survey
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine
|January 1, 1985
Summary
Diffuse pulmonary uptake of bone-imaging agents, detected via bone scintigraphy, indicates lung calcifications. This finding is linked to hypercalcemia and chronic dialysis, potentially impairing lung function.
Area of Science:
- Nuclear Medicine
- Radiology
- Pulmonary Medicine
Background:
- Diffuse pulmonary uptake of technetium-99m (99mTc) bone-imaging agents is a rare phenomenon.
- The clinical significance and underlying causes require further investigation.
