Focal hyperemia on RBC blood-flow imaging. A scintigraphic marker of arterioportal venous shunting in hepatic cavernous hemangiomas?
To investigate the significance of increased perfusion associated with some hepatic hemangiomata during radionuclide blood volume imaging.. Immediate dynamic planar projections and delayed SPECT imaging of a hepatic lesion were obtained after the administration of Tc-99m-labeled RBC. Scintigraphic data were compared with X-ray CT, contrast angiography and postresection histopathology.. A surgically proven, cavernous hemangioma with typical findings on delayed radionuclide blood-pool imaging showed markedly increased perfusion by scintigraphy. This correlated with arterioportal venous shunting (AVPS) on contrast angiography.. Increased perfusion on radionuclide blood-volume imaging of hepatic hemangiomata may be a scintigraphic marker of AVPS. This may serve to identify patients with increased risk for spontaneous rupture or may identify them for the development of portal hypertension.
