Abstract
The quantitative radioisotope scanning was carried out for the measurement of the amount of the pulmonary arterial blood flow in twenty five patients receiving postoperative irradiation for breast cancer. Patients received intravenously macroaggregated /sup 131/I serum albumin immediately before the scanning. The designs of the scanning were made before and after radiation therapy in all cases. The results were summarized as follows. The amount of the blood flow in the pulmonary artery decreased obviously after irradiations in the most cases. The degree of the reduction was correlated with the extent of post-irradiated alterations in the chest-roentgenogram. Although the amount of the blood flow of the patients whose chest roentgenogram showed no particular findings or the negligible reduced slightly after irradiation, it returned again gradually to the level of 90% of the previous. In the cases accompanied with the large opacity in the chest film, the amount of the blood flow decreased drastically. The most pronounced finding was the reductions of the amount of the blood flow before the alteration of the chest roentgenogram.
