Detection of Impending Pericardial Tamponade During Skeletal Imaging

Bone imaging using Tc–99m MDP was performed on a 68–year–old man with a newly diagnosed adenocarcinoma of the lung. The image unexpectedly showed increased activity in the heart area. Emergent echocardiography demonstrated impending pericardial tamponade. A malignant pericardial effusion was verifie...

Zusammenfassung:	Bone imaging using Tc–99m MDP was performed on a 68–year–old man with a newly diagnosed adenocarcinoma of the lung. The image unexpectedly showed increased activity in the heart area. Emergent echocardiography demonstrated impending pericardial tamponade. A malignant pericardial effusion was verified by pericardiocentesis.
