Objectives: In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients, to establish whether the
fractional volumes of irradiated anatomic or perfused lung differed between those with and …

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 …

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the optimal threshold for the functional lung
(FL) definition of single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) lung perfusion …

Purpose This study aimed to compare lung perfusion scan with single photon emission
computed tomography/computed tomography (SPECT/CT) for the evaluation of lung function …

Background and purpose To compare functional and standard dose–volume parameters as
predictors of postradiation pulmonary toxicity in lung cancer patients undergoing curative …

Purpose The purpose of the study was to evaluate the ability of baseline perfusion defect
score (DS) on SPECT to predict the development of severe symptomatic radiation …

Background. The purpose of the study was to assess dose and time dependence of
radiotherapy (RT)-induced changes in regional lung function measured with single photon …

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

Purpose: To better understanding the dose and time dependence of radiation therapy (RT)-
induced regional lung dysfunction as assessed by changes in regional lung perfusion …

Methods Nineteen patients receiving thoracic 3D-CRT for lung cancer were studied. Single
photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) lung perfusion scan, and X-ray or CT scan …
