  • Title: Radionuclide angiography in juvenile angiofibroma of the nasopharynx.
    Author: Castor WF, Lentle BC, Glazebrook GA.
    Journal: Ann Otol Rhinol Laryngol; 1975; 84(1 Pt 1):107-11. PubMed ID: 163070.
    Abstract:
    Radionuclide angiography was performed by intravenous injection of 99mTc-pertechnetate and recorded by serial gamma camera scintiphotographs. Its usefulness as a prebiopsy or preoperative procedure is demonstrated by two case reports of angiofibroma of the nasopharynx and it was also found to be useful for radiation therapy follow-up assessment. Radionuclide angiography offers a convenient and safe method to assess the vascularity of a mass and by this technique the surgeon may be alerted to the possibility of severe postbiopsy hemorrhage and also the occasional dramatic complications of radiological carotid angiography can be avoided.
