The clinical value of prostate-specific antigen and bone scintigraphy in the staging of patients with newly diagnosed, pathologically proven prostate cancer.
Coronary angiograms were then planned to confirm the findings of the scintigraphy.
It would undoubtedly be of interest to obtain data, from thallium scintigraphy, on this group of patients.
The left ventricular ejection fraction on nuclear scintigraphy was 38%.
Ventilation and perfusion lung scintigraphy revealed normal ventilation on both sides, but absence of perfusion of the left lung.
Pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy revealed a perfusion imbalance, with a left/right ratio of 85/15%.
Scintigraphy allows the accurate assessment of oesophageal motility problems by imaging the oesophageal transit of radio-labelled liquids and solids.
The wider availability of oesophageal manometry and scintigraphy has recently greatly aided clinical work in this area.
