[The value of conventional pancreas scintigraphy as a diagnostic method in pancreatic diseases]. 1975

J Müller-Brand

In a retrospective study 170 pancreas scintigrams have been compared with the final clinical diagnosis. In 87% of cases the nuclear medicine and clinical diagnoses were in agreement. Given the 95% accuracy of normal pancreas scans, scintigraphy is a reliable method in ruling out pancreatic disorders. The problems of the pathologic pancreas scan are discussed and an approach is recommended for clinical clarification. Finally, a list of indications for pancreas scintigraphy is given.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
