Positron emission tomography (PET) has been studied for a variety of indications in patients
with known or suspected non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This article discusses the …

Ventilation/perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (V/Q SPECT) is the
scintigraphic technique of choice for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and many other …

The pulmonary clearance rate of aerosolized and deposited [99mTc] DTPA is used to
assess pulmonary epithelial permeability to solutes. To evaluate whether it is necessary to …

Ventilation/Perfusion (V/Q) positron emission tomography computed tomography (PET/CT)
is now possible by substituting Technetium-99m (99m Tc) with Gallium-68 (68 Ga), using the …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an important imaging modality for personalizing
clinical management of patients with lung cancer. In this regard, PET imaging is essential for …

A technique has been developed to measure regional values of vascular and extravascular
lung density using positron emission and transmission tomography. Quantitative values of …

Nonuniform distributions of lung perfusion scintiscans obtained by SPECT were quantified to
supplement qualitative lung scintiscans. A total of 126 lung perfusion scintigraphy …

T HE 1990s marked the emergence of positron emission tomography (PET) using F-18
fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) as the single most powerful imaging tool in the diagnosis and …

The availability of clinical positron emission tomography (PET) is increasing rapidly in the
developed world (1). This article reviews the role of PET scanning in lung cancer …
