Ectopic Right Kidney Imaged With Dynamic 82Rb PET/CT.

Ectopic kidney in the thoracic region are infrequent in clinical practice. A 64-year-old man underwent a Rubidium (82Rb) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) scan for the evaluation of myocardial ischemia due to a diagnosed 2-vessel coronary artery disease. While no myocardial perfusion abnormalities were detected, the scan showed the presence of a diaphragmatic high stand on the right side, with evidence of an ectopic kidney. We here present static and flow dynamic images of this rare finding1-3.

Abstract

Ectopic kidney in the thoracic region are infrequent in clinical practice. A 64-year-old man underwent a Rubidium (82Rb) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET-CT) scan for the evaluation of myocardial ischemia due to a diagnosed 2-vessel coronary artery disease. While no myocardial perfusion abnormalities were detected, the scan showed the presence of a diaphragmatic high stand on the right side, with evidence of an ectopic kidney. We here present static and flow dynamic images of this rare finding1-3.
