Early Detection of X-ray CT Negative Recurrent Lung Cancer With Tl-201 SPECT

Recurrent lung cancer was detected by Tl-201 SPECT showing mediastinal and hilar accumulations when the x-ray CT showed recurrence. Recurrence was confirmed by x-ray CT 3 months later. The use of Tl-201 SPECT as a complementary modality to other radiological studies for the postoperative assessment...

Description
Summary:Recurrent lung cancer was detected by Tl-201 SPECT showing mediastinal and hilar accumulations when the x-ray CT showed recurrence. Recurrence was confirmed by x-ray CT 3 months later. The use of Tl-201 SPECT as a complementary modality to other radiological studies for the postoperative assessment of lung cancer should be encouraged.
