Assessment of perfusion patterns during hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy: EOE-13 CT and /sup 99m/Tc-MAA scintigraphy

Journal Article · · AJR, Am. J. Roentgenol.; (United States)
Hepatic perfusion patterns were evaluated in five receiving hepatic artery infusion chemotherapy. All patients underwent /sup 99m/Tc macroaggregated albumin (/sup 99m/Tc-MAA) scintigraphy and CT with EOE-13. In each case, the diagnostic agent was administered through the infusion catheter at 0.66 ml./min. Hepatic perfusion patterns were identified with both imaging methods, but CT with EOE-13 yielded more precise anatomic detail and was unique in demonstrating the perfusion status of each hepatic metastasis. Further evaluation of EOE-13 for this purpose is warranted.
