Intraperitoneal distribution imaging prior to chromic phosphate ( P-32 ) therapy in ovarian cancer patients . This study addressed the technique of intraperitoneal distribution imaging ( IDI ) . A literature search ( MEDLINE database ) revealed wide variations in IDI techniques without a basis for comparison . From April 1990 to September 1992 , the authors studied 8 patients ( age 43-65 years ) with ovarian cancer . A total of 1000 ml of normal saline and 1 mCi of Tc-99m SC was infused intraperitoneally for IDI . In one patient loculation was observed , but only 250 ml of normal saline was infused with Tc-99m SC . A repeat study using our standard technique rendered free intraperitoneal distribution in this patient , as well as in the other seven cases . Some investigators recommend low volumes , but in our experience this produced the finding of pseudoloculation , which could change treatment inappropriately . Although the number of patients studied at our institution was small , administration of 1 liter intraperitoneally provided consistent IDI results .
