Diagnosis of orbital cavernous hemangioma with Tc-99m RBC SPECT

Clin Nucl Med. 1997 Aug;22(8):546-9. doi: 10.1097/00003072-199708000-00007.

Abstract

The authors report two cases of orbital cavernous hemangioma diagnosed by Tc-99m RBC SPECT. Tc-99m RBC SPECT showed a typical scintigraphic pattern commonly seen in hepatic hemangioma in which there is intense focally increased uptake on delayed SPECT images. Tc-99m RBC SPECT in orbital cavernous hemangioma may be as useful a diagnostic modality as in hepatic hemangioma.
