Liver involvement in hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia: assessment with 99Tcm-phytate radionuclide angiography and 123I-IMP transrectal portal scintigraphy.
British Journal of Radiology 2000 October
Abnormal hepatic haemodynamics and function in a 43-year-old woman with hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) were evaluated using 99Tcm-phytate angiography and iodine-123-iodoamphetamine transrectal portal scintigraphy. Radionuclide angiography demonstrated hyperdynamic perfusion of the liver owing to intrahepatic arteriovenous fistulae (AVF), entry of tracer into the systemic circulation through intrahepatic portosystemic shunts and an increase in recirculating blood flow caused by these vascular disorders. Heterogeneous distribution of tracer also suggested the presence of chronic hepatic injury. Transrectal portal scintigraphy showed large portosystemic shunts. Other imaging techniques confirmed the presence of the AVF but failed to identify the portosystemic shunts. Non-invasive radionuclide studies are helpful in the evaluation of hepatic involvement of HHT.
