Diffuse Tl-201 uptake in the lungs could be because of cardiac, neoplastic, inflammatory, or interstitial lung disease. Examples from the different categories, differential diagnosis, and different patterns are presented. The authors discuss the different mechanisms of increased Tl-201 uptake in the lungs which vary according to the underlying pathology.
