The lung scan is an effective, simple, and safe method to evaluate the state of pulmonary
arterial perfusion and thus determine the presence or absence of regional ischemia. These …

Pairs of sequential perfusion lung scans and pulmonary angiograms obtained in 45 patients
were reviewed to investigate the utility of short-term, sequential scintigraphy in the diagnosis …

[en] Although there is controversy over the value of radionuclide lung scans in the diagnosis
of pulmonary thrombo-embolism, the procedure remains non-invasive, accurate and precise …

Defects observed in pulmonary perfusion scintiphotography often have been equated with a
diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. In fact, such defects have lacked diagnostic specificity …

The appearance of the lung scans in 61 clinically asymptomatic volunteers is described. Of
