[Radiopaque hemithorax, with special reference to scintigraphic methods]. 1978

R Martignoni, and P Mello Teggia, and A Perino, and G Baglione, and S De Matteis

Radioopaque hemithorax is frequently observed. The various situations in which it may occur are examined aetiopathologically, along with the general and specifically radiological methods used for its investigation. Particular attention is given to the employment of radio-isotopes for this purpose and the methods involved. Results obtained with perfusion are noteworthy, and even more so those achieved with positive tracers such as 67Ga citrate and 57Co Blm, especially in the differential diagnosis of pleural effusion and mesothelioma through what is described as the "paradox effect".

D010996 Pleural Effusion Presence of fluid in the pleural cavity resulting from excessive transudation or exudation from the pleural surfaces. It is a sign of disease and not a diagnosis in itself. Effusion, Pleural,Effusions, Pleural,Pleural Effusions
D010997 Pleural Neoplasms Neoplasms of the thin serous membrane that envelopes the lungs and lines the thoracic cavity. Pleural neoplasms are exceedingly rare and are usually not diagnosed until they are advanced because in the early stages they produce no symptoms.

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.
