Abstract
Large sliding hiatus hernia: incidental finding in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy performed with SPECT/CT technique
Highlights
A 76-year-old patient with history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus, and hypercholesterolemia was referred to nuclear medicine department because of recurrent, unspecific chest pain, appearing for several years
Myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) conducted with careful analysis of low-dose CT images helped to diagnose the proper cause of symptoms and to protect the patient from severe complications and improper treatment
Presented case shows the importance of analyzing the whole available data collected during a scintigraphy study, including low-dose CT images which can suggest anatomical abnormalities to be confirmed by dedicated methods
Summary
MPS SPECT/CT conducted with careful analysis of low-dose CT images helped to diagnose the proper cause of symptoms and to protect the patient from severe complications and improper treatment.
