Lung uptake of colloid during liver-spleen scanning: a normal finding in children

P F Winter et al. Nuklearmedizin. 1976 Dec.

Abstract

Sixteen (44%) of 36 normal children were observed to have faint lung uptake during liver-spleen scanning with 99mTc sulfur colloid from a commercially available kit. Visible radioactivity in the lungs of children during liver-spleen scanning should not be considered an abnormal finding.
