SPECT perfusion imaging with I123-HIPDM in a patient with pulmonary embolism
- 1. Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche, Pisa (Italy). Ist. di Fisiologia
Description
The use of 123I-N, N, N'trimethyl-N'-2-hydroxy-3-methyl-5-iodobenzyl-1, 3-propanediamine (123I-HIPDM) as a lung perfusion tracer in a patient with pulmonary embolism is shown. 123HIPDM is compared with 99mTc-labeled human albumin microspheres (HAM) using both planar and tpmpgraphic (SPECT) imaging. Pulmonary segmental defects are shown by 123I-HIPDM as well as by HAM, with a slightly better definition of perfused areas. Tomograms better show segmental shape of perfusion defects. 123I-HIPDM may be proposed as lung perfusion tracer for both clinical and experimental purposes
