SPECT/CT confirms metastatic pulmonary calcification on bone scintigraphy: Directing management in a dialysis patient

Key takeaways

A person on dialysis had a bone scan that hinted calcium had built up in the lungs, a known problem when kidneys stop balancing calcium and phosphate. A more detailed scan called SPECT/CT confirmed it, and that changed how the doctors treated the case. This is a report on one patient, so it shows what happened to that person and cannot prove anything general.
