摘要
A case report of a bronchopleural fistula after lower lobectomy detected using Technegas ventilation scintigraphy is presented. Most of the published literature on the diagnosis and localization of bronchopleural fistulas using nuclear medicine techniques is based on the use of Tc-99m DTPA, Xe-133, Kr- 81m, and Tc-99m albumin. No published literature exists on the use of Technegas to detect a bronchopleural fistula.
