| Popis: | The diagnostic sensitivities of arteriography, intravenous (IV) Tc-99m sulfur colloid scintigraphy, and intra-arterial (IA) Tc-99m sulfur colloid scintigraphy were evaluated in a canine model of gastrointestinal bleeding. Fifteen dogs were studied at bleeding rates ranging from .4 to 1.0 ml/minute. All three studies were obtained in six of the 15 dogs. Intravenous scintigraphy was superior to angiography in two cases, inferior in three, and equal in one. No significant difference could be shown between these two tests at these bleeding rates. Intra-arterial scintigraphy was superior to angiography in four cases and equal in two (P = .06). It was superior to IV scintigraphy in five cases and inferior in one (P = .10). In this small preliminary study, IA scintigraphy appears to be superior to the other two modalities and may prove useful in the detection of acute bleeding at the time of negative arteriography, and in serial studies in patients receiving Pitressin. |
