Her technetium-99m diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (99mTc-DTPA) radioaerosol inhalation lung scintigraphy (May 21, 2008) revealed marked hypoventilation of the left lung and retention of the radiotracer in the right peri-hilar region, suggestive of a parenchymal process. The use of 99mTC human albumin macroaggregates (99mTC MAA) revealed no perfusion in the left lung and perfusion defects in the right lung base.
