Abstract

Abstract: Here is a case of chyle leak post McKeown esophagectomy. Lymphoscintigraphy with 99m Tc-filtered sulfur colloid revealed tracer accumulation along the thoracic duct and in the left hemithorax. Precise localization of leak was done by SPECT-CT imaging. This enabled timely surgical intervention and reduced further morbidity. This procedure is not only precise but also cost-effective as compared with the other available investigations.

淋巴管造影与 SPECT-CT 在检测术后患者胰液渗漏部位中的应用

摘要：这是一例麦氏食管切除术后糜烂渗漏病例。使用 99mTc 滤过硫胶体进行淋巴管造影显示，示踪剂沿胸腔导管和左胸腔积聚。通过 SPECT-CT 成像对漏点进行了精确定位。这样就能及时进行手术干预，降低进一步的发病率。与其他可用的检查方法相比，这种方法不仅精确，而且经济有效。
