| Core Tip |
Tc-99m pertechnetate is a truly carrier-free radiotracer and transported by the sodium iodide symporter. Salivary scintigraphy using Tc-99m pertechnetate is frequently performed for diagnosing salivary gland disease such Sjogren's syndrome. Here, we present a rare finding of Tc-99m pertechnetate accumulation in the subacute cerebral infarction lesion. The reason for the Tc-99m pertechnetate accumulation is thought to be due to the ingrowth and proliferation of new capillaries with enhanced permeability in the subacute cerebral infarction lesion. This case highlights that Tc-99m pertechnetate could accumulate in a subacute cerebral infarction lesion. The mechanisms of an unexpected uptake of Tc-99m pertechnetate in unusual sites should be evaluated and kept in mind for better interpretation. |
