Blood Circulation Studies with a Scintillation Camera; Explorations Circulatoires a l'Aide de la Camera a Scintillations

Abstract

The authors carried out a series of an giocardiographs and angiographs using a scintillation camera. In most cases they injected human serum albumin labelled with technetium-99m; less frequently, they used pertechnetate or barium-137m. The images with the barium-137m are not so good as those obtained from the technetium-99m because the energy of the barium is too high for the scintillation camera; studies are currently being begun where indium-113m is being used. Examples are given dealing with the heart in its normal state and when it is suffering from such diseases of the valves as aortic insufficiency and stenosis, tricuspid incompetence and aortic disease. The study also includes cases of pulmonary hypertension. The method can be used both to establish the period of circulation, which varies according to the site of the lesion and its seriousness, and to visualize shunts without any difficulty. The authors, who have carried out angiocardiograms and radio-cardiograms simultaneously, regard it as a very useful technique. They accordingly think that quantitative information should be obtained and intend to add to their camera the necessary accessories for this purpose. Renal angiographs can be used to establish vascularization rates in each kidney. (author) [French] Les auteurs realisent des angiocardiographies  More>>

(author) [French] Les auteurs realisent des angiocardiographies et des angiographies a l'aide de la camera a scintillations. Dans la majorite des cas ils ont injecte de la serum-albumine humaine marquee par le technetium-99m, plus rarement du pertechnetate ou du baryum-l37m. Le baryum-137m donne de moins bonnes images que le technetium-99m car il possede une energie trop elevee pour la camera a scintillations; actuellement ils commencent a utiliser rindium-113m. Des exemples sont decrits qui interessent le coeur normal ou atteint de diverses valvulopathies telles que l'insuffisance aortique, la stenose aortique, l'insuffisance tricuspidienne ou la maladie aortique; des cas d'hypertension pulmonaire sont egalement exposes. Cette methode permet d'apprecier les temps circulatoires, qui varient suivant le siege de la lesion et la gravite de celle-ci, et d'objectiver tres facilement des shunts. Elle est consideree comme tres valable par les auteurs qui ont realise en parallele l'angiocardiogramme et le radiocardiogramme. Us pensent ainsi qu'il est necessaire d'obtenir des documents quantitatifs et souhaitent adjoindre a leur camera les elements indispensables a cette demarche. L'angiographie renale permet de connaitre le taux de vascularisation de chaque rein. (author)}
