Nuclear medicine laboratories are currently evaluating regional physiology by the use of
lung perfusion and ventilation scans. The standard lung perfusion scan has an important …

Planar lung scintigraphy is a standard method used for the diagnosis of lung embolism, but it
is hampered by the high incidence of nondiagnostic tests. Ventilation/perfusion SPECT may …

Purpose Respiratory gated perfusion single photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT) was applied to reduce respiratory lung motion effects and to reliably assess …

A method is presented for deriving regional values for lung volume, ventilation, perfusion
and dV/dQ ratios suitably plotted for clinical interpretation. Necessary data are obtained from …

Ventilation perfusion imaging using single photon emission tomography was carried out in
the supine position on four subjects, three normal volunteers and one patient, all free from …

The effect of increasingly more sophisticated attenuation correction methods on image
homogeneity has been studied in seven healthy subjects. The subjects underwent …

We have extended the dual isotope probe technique of Basran et al.[1] for the measurement
of pulmonary microvascular permeability (PMVP) to include gamma camera data acquisition …

OBJECTIVE. In this article, we describe the concepts of ventilation-perfusion planar, SPECT,
and SPECT/CT and outline the advantages of integrated ventilation-perfusion SPECT/CT …

A whole-body single-photon emission computed tomographic system (SPECT) was used to
quantitate the activities of a series of Tc-99m point sources in the dog's thorax and to …

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine whether preradiation (pre‐RT) single
photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) lung perfusion scans can be used to …
