Increased Thallium-201 Accumulation in the Transplanted Lung
Clinical Nuclear Medicine , 04/27/09
Freeman AM et al. - The authors present an interesting case of a 64-year-old man with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and known coronary disease who underwent a successful unilateral lung transplant. Postoperatively, the patient suffered a non-ST elevation myocardial infarction, and underwent a thallium-201 stress test. The nuclear study revealed differential lung uptake of thallium-201 with more tracer taken up by the newly transplanted lung. This finding and its clinical significance are discussed.
