Postoperative Dissecting Interventricular Hematoma Evaluated by Multiple Modalities

Assessment of Cardiac Sarcoidosis with Advanced Imaging Modalities

Sarcoidosis is a chronic systemic disease of unknown etiology that is characterized by the presence of noncaseating epithelioid granulomas, usually in multiple organs. Several studies have shown that sarcoidosis might be the result of an exaggerated granulomatous reaction after exposure to unidentified antigens in genetically susceptible individuals. Cardiac involvement may occur and lead to an...

P rocedure Guideline for Hepatic and Splenic Imaging 3 . 0

The purpose of this guideline is to assist nuclear medicine practitioners in recommending, performing , interpreting, and reporting hepatic and splenic imaging studies. A. Liver–spleen imaging is performed after the injection of a 9 9 m Tc-labeled colloid that has been rapidly phagocytized by the reticuloendothelial cells of the liver, spleen, and bone marrow. B. Liver blood pool imaging is per...
