Diagnostic possibilities included unilateral pulmonary uptake, a high riding liver, or uptake in the chest wall (or breast).

| Zusammenfassung: | Images of the chest obtained during a stress Tl-201 study revealed uptake in the right chest. Diagnostic possibilities included unilateral pulmonary uptake, a high riding liver, or uptake in the chest wall (or breast). The short axis slices of the left ventricle showed an unusual pattern with decreased activity in the lateral wall of the heart. The chest x-ray explained the findings by demonstrating evidence of a left pneumonectomy. |
