Abstract

Of 18 patients with Takayasu's arteritis who underwent $^{99m}Tc-MAA$ (macroaggregated albumin) perfusion luing scanning, 9 (50%) showed perfusion defects. Chest X-rays of them were nonspecific. One patient underwent $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ radio aerosol inhalation lung scanning simultaneously, which revealed normal. So routine screening radioisotope perfusion lung scanning is helpful to evaluate pulmonary arterial involnmement in Takayasu's arteritis patients. And Takayasu's arteritis should be included in differential diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.
