“…D u r i n g Meckel's scan and threephase bone studies, "uterine blush" and pelvic "doughnut" signs because of the increased blood flow of the uterus have been observed by several authors (Fink-Bennett 1982;Sanders et al 1984;Mandell et al 1986;Mandell and Harcke 1987). Uterine uptake of 99mTc-DTPA due to increased uterine blood flow during secretion phases and leading to a misinterpretation of renal allograft excretion has been known (Lunia et al 1980;Feldman et al 1986;Orzel and Jaffers 1986;Elgazzar et al 1988). Under these pathological conditions, however, the exact mechanism of the uptake of 99mTc-DTPA is not clear.…”

Uterine technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine and diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid uptake in the scintigraphic evaluation of transplanted kidneys

et al. 1992

An anuric 35-year-old woman with a renal transplant underwent serial renal scintigraphy studies to screen the kidney function. A hypervascular pelvic mass in the region of the bladder was identified during technetium-99m mercaptoacetyltriglycine (MAG3) and also during 99mTc diethylene triamine penta-acetic acid (DT-PA) scintigraphy. She was in the secretory phase of the uterine cycle during the study and had no gynaecological problem to explain the radioactivity accumulation. The accumulation of 99mTc-MAG3 mimicking the bladder was considered as uterine activity. To our knowledge, this is the first case of uterine visualization with 99mTc-MAG3.

“…1980;Tyler and Powers 1982;Siddiqui 1986;Elgazzar et al 1988;Slavin et al 1988), and it has been reported that the intermittent appearance of a hypervascular pelvis mass on 99mTc-DTPA scintigraphy was because of the uterus uptake in various phases of the menstrual cycle (Feldman etal. 1986;Orzel and Jaffers 1986).…”

Uterine doughnut in early proliferating phase: Potential pitfall in gastrointestinal bleeding studies

et al. 2003

A 41-year-old woman with rectal bleeding was referred to our department for gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding study. She was in early post-menstrual period and had stable vital signs. A GI bleeding study with Tc-99m SC revealed uterine blush in the pelvis. The shape of activity and quick fading excluded a GI bleeding. To rule out an intermittent bleeding, patient underwent a second bleeding study with Tc-99m RBC. Serial images showed uterine "doughnut" in the pelvis. The activity neither changed in shape nor showed distal movement with time excluding a GI hemorrhage. Uterus in early proliferating phase could be a potential pitfall in GI bleeding studies.
