Popis: Altogether 60 patients with genital tumors and breast cancer were examined on the 3rd-7th day after operation using ON-110 gamma-camera (USA). Perfusion pulmonary scintigraphy with labeled MMA was performed in all the patients. In 66% of the examinees pulmonary blood flow disorders localized mainly in the lower part of the lungs, were noted, and in breast cancer patients--on the tumor lesion side, too. Perfusion pulmonary scintigraphy was shown to be an informative method of diagnosis of postoperative changes of the capillary pulmonary circulation which were clinically undetectable.
