Dear Sir, The trend in imaging—no matter if in radiology or nuclear medicine—goes towards
smaller voxels acquired in less time with less radiation dose. Thus, it is merely a matter of …

Aim Imaging of lung perfusion with positron emission tomography (PET) is already possible
with 68Ga labeled denaturized albumin. The purpose of our study was to produce and test a …

Gallium-68 (68 Ga) is a positron-emitting radionuclide suitable for positron emission
tomography (PET) imaging that has a number of convenient features—it has a physical half …

Pulmonary imaging using ventilation/perfusion (V/P) single-photon emission tomography
(V/P scan) with Tc-99m-labeled radiotracers is a well-established diagnostic tool for …

Methods Fifty-three patients (24 male and 29 female) underwent lung scintigraphy with 68
Ga-labelled radiopharmaceuticals. 68 Ga Galligas and B20 microspheres used for V and Q …

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 …

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of positron range on visualization
and quantification in 18 F, 68 Ga and 124 I positron emission tomography (PET)/CT of lung …

Ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy is established for regional assessment of lung
function in a variety of diseases, including pulmonary embolism (PE). PET/CT may further …

Purpose Our group has previously reported on the use of 68 Ga-ventilation/perfusion (VQ)
PET/CT scanning for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. We describe here the …

Planar γ-scintigraphy is often used to quantify pulmonary deposition patterns from aerosol
inhalers. The results are quite different from those obtained using 3-dimensional PET and …
