Concentration of99mTechnetium Polyphosphate in Fibrothorax following Pneumonectomy

Abstract
Following the injection of 99mTc polyphosphate for bone scanning, a diffuse accumulation of radioactivity in post-pneumonectomy fibrothorax was demonstrated in 3 patients. This substantiates the nonspecificity of the localization of 99mTc-phosphorus compounds, and underlies the need for close clinical correlation in the accurate interpretation of such scans.
