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 …

In many ways, the lung is an ideal organ for study with positron emission tomography (PET).
First, structure-function relations are homogeneous over larger areas than in other organs …

Data obtained during positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging of the lung are
expressed in terms of lung volume, not lung weight. Therefore changes in PET data may …

Pulmonary single photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT–
CT) fusion images provide objective and comprehensive assessment of pulmonary function …

Planar perfusion scintigraphy with 99mTc-labeled macroaggregated albumin is often used
for pretherapy quantification of regional lung perfusion in lung cancer patients, particularly …

Although it is known that structural and functional changes in the pulmonary vasculature and
parenchyma occur in the progress of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) …

PIOPED Study. Part I. Data Collection and Tabulation Page 1 The criteria used for categorical
interpretationof the ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scans in the PIOPED study were developed …

In 75 patients with various pulmonary disorders, ventilation and perfusion scans were
obtained in multiple views with the/sup 81m/Kr//sup 99m/Tc technique and compared with …

MATERIALS AND METHODS Patients are positioned for a posterior view be fore a
scintillation camera equipped with a low energy diverging collimatort. The patient first re …

A consistent method for the qualitative analysis of regional cerebral blood flow on single-
photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) Imaging has not yet been realized …
