Early peritoneal-scrotal leakage in a patient submitted to peritoneal dialysis demonstrated by dynamic peritoneal 99mTc-phytate scintigraphy

Peritoneal-scrotal dialysate leakage demonstrated on SPECT/CT imaging in a patient on peritoneal dialysis

“…Scintigraphy is a safe and highly sensitive modality with minimal radiation exposure, allergic reactions and peritonitis risk [4 , 5] . Various radiopharmaceuticals have been used in scintigraphy and SPECT/CT imaging for dialysate leakage detection, including 99mTc sulfur colloid, 99mTc-pertechnetate, 99mTc phytate and 99mTc-MAA and 99mTc-DTPA [4 , [7] , [8] , [9] , [10] .…”
