Description

Blood perfusion in the pulmonary artery is studied by pulmonary scintigraphy with macroaggregated albumin 131I, in 74 cases of pulmonary tuberculosis. Results shown by scintigraphy are compared to those observed in roentgenography and also correlated with the extension and degree of the lesions, and with the presence of associated tuberculosis, considered capable of changing the scintigraphic picture. The reduction of blood flow in the pulmonary artery are observed in cases of infiltrative, fibrotic of caseous lesions, as well as in cases of minor lesions

Abstract (Portuguese)

Estuda-se a perfusao sanguinea da arteria pulmonar em 74 casos de tuberculose pulmonar, atraves da cintigrafia pulmonar com macroagregados da albumina 131I. Comparam-se os resultados apresentados pelas cintigrafias com os observados nas radiografias e correlacionados de acordo com a classificacao clinica da molestia, com a extensao e o grau da lesao e com a presenca de molestias associadas a tuberculose que possam influenciar o quadro cintigrafico. Observa-se a reducao do fluxo sanguineo da arteria pulmonar nos casos de lesao infiltrativa caseosa e fibrosa
