  • Title: Patent umbilical vein. Diagnosis by technetium-99m tagged red blood cell scintigraphy.
    Author: Gouse JC, Williamson BR, Brookeman VA, Teates CD.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 1987 Jun; 12(6):424-7. PubMed ID: 3595024.
    Abstract:
    Abdominal scanning with Tc-99m labeled red blood cells serendipitously demonstrated collateral flow in a patent umbilical vein in a patient with unsuspected advanced cirrhotic liver disease and portal hypertension. Knowledge of this was crucial in planning the optimal surgical approach in this patient, referred for resection of a bladder carcinoma. Furthermore, the nuclide study was helpful in clarifying several questions posed by a prior abdominal pelvic CT scan.
