Lobar extent of pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis. Tl-201 chloride and Tc-99m MIBI scintigraphic findings

Clin Nucl Med. 1996 Sep;21(9):726-9. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199609000-00011.

Abstract

Two cases of histologically proven lobar pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis are reported in which well-defined sites of accumulation of Tl-201 and Tc-99m MIBI were observed. The combination of Tl-201 and Tc-99m MIBI SPECT can detect the extent of pulmonary lymphangitic carcinomatosis.
