The utility of SPECT lung perfusion scans in minimizing and assessing the physiologic consequences of thoracic irradiation
LB Marks, DP Spencer, GC Bentel, SK Ray… - International Journal of …, 1993 - Elsevier
Purpose: Three-dimensional single photon emission computed tomography lung perfusion
scans (SPECT) provide a unique quantitative 3-dimensional map of the distribution of
functioning pulmonary vascular/alveolar subunits, information not provided by other imaging
modalities. This report describes our initial experience utilizing these scans to assist in the
design of radiation treatment beams and to assess changes in regional lung function
following irradiation. Methods and Materials: Patients were immobilized and scanned in the …
