Tc-99m albumin scintigraphy is a noninvasive method for detecting protein-losing gastroenteropathy.
Seven patients with protein-losing gastroenteropathy were evaluated with Tc-99m albumin scintigraphy. In addition, Tc-99m albumin scintigraphy was used to monitor the effect of treatment in five of these seven patients. The scintigraphic results were compared with serum albumin levels.
All seven patients had positive results in the pretreatment images. Changes in scintigraphic findings in the five treated patients correlated well with changes in serum albumin level.
Tc-99m albumin scintigraphy is useful not only for diagnosing protein-losing gastroenteropathy but also for monitoring the effect of treatment.
锝-99m白蛋白闪烁扫描术是检测失蛋白性胃肠病的一种非侵入性方法。
对7例失蛋白性胃肠病患者进行了锝-99m白蛋白闪烁扫描术评估。此外,还用锝-99m白蛋白闪烁扫描术对这7例患者中的5例进行了治疗效果监测。将闪烁扫描结果与血清白蛋白水平进行了比较。
所有7例患者在治疗前图像中均显示阳性结果。5例接受治疗患者的闪烁扫描结果变化与血清白蛋白水平变化密切相关。
锝-99m白蛋白闪烁扫描术不仅有助于诊断失蛋白性胃肠病,还可用于监测治疗效果。
