“…In our case report, SPECT/CT provided the good definition of lymphatic leakage in a patient with chylothorax after esophagectomy. SPECT/CT had great impact for interpreting anatomical location in various situations [8][9][10][11][12][13] . When abnormal accumulation is seen on planar image of lymphoscintigraphy, additional SPECT/CT is recommended to evaluate the precise anatomical location of the leakage and tracer distribution.…”

Abstract:A 45-year old man who had refractory right chylothorax after esophagectomy for esophageal cancer underwent lymphoscintigraphy with Tc-99m human serum albumin. Focal abnormal uptake was seen in the mid abdomen on planar image 30 minutes after the tracer injection. SPECT/CT delineated the extent of the accumulation between the anastomotic site and the right pleural effusion area. SPECT/CT had a great impact for detecting the site of lymphatic leakage.

“…The reported false-positive scintigraphic results can be explained by the use of radiotracer with hepatobiliary excretion, unusual anatomy of the collecting system, vesicoureteral refl ux, or the presence of the drainage bag within the fi eld of view during the scan [11,12]. These accumulations can be localized more accurately with the use of novel hybrid imaging systems such as singlephoton emission computed tomography/CT [13].…”

Simple provocative maneuvers in renal transplant scintigraphy for detecting urine leak

Urine leak in the early postoperative period following renal transplantation is a serious complication requiring early identification and aggressive intervention, which significantly reduces the morbidity and mortality. Renal transplant scintigraphy is a noninvasive method to evaluate the perfusion and function of a transplanted kidney and urinary drainage including urine leak. Here, we reported two cases in which the standard transplant renogram failed to demonstrate urine leak. The cases were referred for a diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid renogram following the transplantation to evaluate the cause of symptoms or elevated serum creatinine level. In both the cases, urine leak was successfully detected following simple maneuvers such as diuretic administration or Foley catheter irrigation. Renal transplant scintigraphy is an effective and safe technique and the use of these simple maneuvers can enhance the diagnostic sensitivity of the transplant renogram in the detection of urine leak.

“…(54,55), splenosis (56), inflammatory bowel disease (27), gastrointestinal bleeding, Meckel diverticula (57), and biliary leak (58) have been performed. In a patient suspected to have a postrenal transplantation leak (Fig 13), SPECT/CT imaging was immensely helpful in localizing the urinary leak, resulting in modification of the surgical procedure (59).…”

Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has been a mainstay of nuclear medicine practice for several decades. More recently, combining the functional imaging available with SPECT and the anatomic imaging of computed tomography (CT) has gained more acceptance and proved useful in many clinical situations. Most vendors now offer integrated SPECT/CT systems that can perform both functions on one gantry and provide fused functional and anatomic data in a single imaging session. In addition to allowing anatomic localization of nuclear imaging findings, SPECT/CT also enables accurate and rapid attenuation correction of SPECT studies. These attributes have proved useful in many cardiac, general nuclear medicine, oncologic, and neurologic applications in which the SPECT results alone were inconclusive. Optimal clinical use of this rapidly emerging imaging modality requires an understanding of the fundamental principles of SPECT/CT, including quality control issues as well as potential pitfalls and limitations. The long-term clinical and economic effects of this technology have yet to be established.
