Question : I had a SPECT last week; "Dynamic flow images were not obtained due to extravasation of injection. Flow - none
If I'm reading this right, the results would not be accurate due to complications of flow. Am I correct or not?
Interesting that after an infection from surgery, I had to have a repair which covers from breast down to just above abdomen - I started noticing I couldn't wear a bra or anything tight around midsection as it caused me to have shortness of breath. This is not the first time I've read a report and the report doesn't go to the correct doctor. Perhaps I'm misreading into this.
