99m technetium sulfur colloid scanning in diagnosis of renal transplant rejection
Abstract:
To evaluate the possible presence of rejection 37 99mtechnetium sulfur colloid imaging procedures were done on 17 renal transplant patients. There was good correlation between the clinical diagnosis and the results of the technetium sulfur colloid images, with no falsely positive studies in the series. An illustrative case and a review of pertinent literature confirm this technique to be an excellent method for the early detection of renal transplant rejection.

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...
