  • Title: Unusual pattern of lung uptake of technetium-99m sulfur colloid seen on the liver scan of a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis.
    Author: Stewart CA, Hung GL, Siegel ME, McHutchison JG.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1989 Apr; 14(4):271-4. PubMed ID: 2706870.
    Abstract:
    In evaluating alcoholic liver disease in a patient with pulmonary tuberculosis, a liver-spleen scan was performed that showed an unusual uptake of sulfur colloid in the lungs. There was diffuse uptake in the left lung and portions of the right lower lung with absent uptake in the right upper lobe and portions of the right lower lung corresponding to areas of pulmonary consolidation. A perfusion lung scan confirmed absent pulmonary arterial perfusion in these areas and a gallium scan demonstrated active infection there.
