Lung inhalation scintigraphy: development of a new aerosol system. 1985

L R Martins, and K Takaoka, and E Carlini, and G Alonso, and A L Fernandes, and H Romaldini

A new technique for lung inhalation scintigraphy is reported, developing a new aerosol system, based on the original system of Taplin [1]. With two small compact polypropylene reservoirs, this 99Tcm DTPA technique allowed continuous breathing during the inhalation period. This system proved to be a useful alternative to that using radioactive gases and the system of Taplin, due to its low cost and the ease with which several projections may be obtained.

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.
