A new method for the rapid diagnosis of pericardial effusion employing the gamma ray scintillation camera and an intravenous bolus injection of technetium sulfide 88 Tc is presented. Since a chest roentgenogram is not required and scanning times are significantly reduced, this method appears to be superior to previously reported radioisotopic techniques. |
