Heart Abscess revealed by nuclear medicine imaging
European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging, 2005Co-Authors: Marcus Forster, Stefan Conradi, Dominic Muller, Regine Kluge, Osama SabriAbstract:99mTc-antigranulocyte antibody imaging with a radiolabelled murine monoclonal antibody fragment that binds to NCA-90 surface antigen on granulocytes demonstrates abnormal and intense accumulation of radiopharmaceutical in the left chest (projection of the Heart) with increasing intensity from 4 h to 24 h p.i. This is compatible with inflammation/infection, i.e. Heart Abscess. X-ray computed tomography (CT) reveals a suspicious structure in the projection of the apex and the “Dor plasty” (the Dor procedure, a Heart reconstruction procedure, had been performed in 2001 to restore normal geometry and improve ventricular function following formation of a dyskinetic apical and anterior left ventricular aneurysm). The CT findings were somewhat contradictory, showing air bubbles within the suspicious structure, but not the typical peripheral contrast enhancement characteristic of an Abscess. Cardiac surgery after scintigraphy demonstrated an Abscess in the apex and the Dor plasty.
