Post-traumatic pulmonary accumulation of Tc-99m sulfur colloid. 1982

R A Johnson, and W B Hladik

A case is reported in which accumulation of Tc-99m sulfur colloid in one lung occurred following trauma, although the lung remained clear radiographically. Another trauma case is mentioned in which the uptake was bilateral. The cause of this phenomenon is unclear; several potential mechanisms are discussed.
