Diffuse lung uptake of technetium-99m sulfur colloid associated with fatty liver disease of pregnancy. 1987

M J Blend, and M Dondalski

Diffuse pulmonary uptake of sulfur colloid was seen in a 35-year-old postpartum white female with the presumptive diagnosis of fatty liver disease of pregnancy. As the disease process resolved, the pulmonary uptake of sulfur colloid disappeared. To the authors' knowledge, this scan association has not been previously reported.

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.

D005234	Fatty Liver	Lipid infiltration of the hepatic parenchymal cells resulting in a yellow-colored liver. The abnormal lipid accumulation is usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES, either as a single large droplet or multiple small droplets. Fatty liver is caused by an imbalance in the metabolism of FATTY ACIDS.
