[Use of angiopneumography with Tc-99M in 2 cases of pneumopathy caused by anatomical defect].

A parallel study, using traditional angiopneumographic technique with iodate contrast medium and the radioisotopic technique employing 99MTc has been carried out in some cases of bronchopulmonary malformations due to anatomic defect. The purpose of this is to assess the angiographic performance at pulmonary circulation level of an extremely simple radioisotopic technique. Analysis of the two cases presented suggests that although radioisotopic angiopneumography presents lower resolution capacity for viewing small and medium lumen branches of the pulmonary artery, it has the advantage of associating the results of traditional angiopneumography with statis pulmonary scintigraphy in a single exploration. It is considered that this investigation can be used particularly in those patients with severe cardiorespiratory insufficiency, for whom the invasive technique presents some by no means inconsiderable risks.

[Pulmonary oncoscintigraphy using 67 Ga].

Following a survey of the literature on oncoscintigraphy, investigation with radiogallium is examined. If carried out following careful patient selection, it has been found personally that use of this element is highly advantageous in oncological diagnosis in the pulmonary field. Results (no false negative and only one false positive) confirm this.
