Description
Peritoneal scintigraphy with 99mTc-MAA was used for monitoring intra-abdominal chemotherapy in refractory metastatic ascites fom various primary tumors. Scintigraphic patterns appeared to be the simplest, most accurate and reliable method to visualize the possible presence of intraperitoneal sacs due to adhesions. In addition, this technique is able to evidentiate the patency of intra-abdominal catheters. (orig.)
Abstract (German)
Die peritoneale Szintigraphie mit 99mTc-MAA wurde zur Ueberwachung der intraabdominellen Chemotherapie bei therapieresistentem malignen Aszites unterschiedlicher Primaertumorgenese eingesetzt. Die Szintigraphie erwies sich als die einfachste, sensitivste und angemessenste Methode, um moeglicherweise vorliegende intraperitoneale Fluessigkeitsverhalte durch Adhaesionen sichtbar zu machen. Die Methode ist darueber hinaus gut geeignet, um die Durchgaengigkeit intraabdomineller Katheter zu ueberpruefen. (orig.)Additional details
