| Core Tip |
Hepatopulmonary syndrome is a common complication of liver disease which impairs the lungs’ ability to oxygenate blood, leading to debilitating symptoms, such as shortness of breath. Intrapulmonary vascular dilations, a hallmark of hepatopulmonary syndrome, can be detected using technetium-99m-labeled macroaggregated albumin lung perfusion scan, however, of the two most commonly used methods of result interpretation (i.e., brain uptake and whole-body uptake), it is unclear which is more accurate. In this study of 69 patients with liver cirrhosis, we found that whole-body uptake is more accurate than brain uptake for detecting intrapulmonary vascular dilations. |
