OBJECTIVE. In this article, we describe the concepts of ventilation-perfusion planar, SPECT,
and SPECT/CT and outline the advantages of integrated ventilation-perfusion SPECT/CT …

Ventilation/perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (V/P SPECT) is the
scintigraphic technique recommended primarily for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary …

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has replaced planar imaging in
many areas of nuclear medicine. Given its superior contrast resolution and improved …

Lung scintigraphy is the primary tool for diagnostics of pulmonary embolism. A perfusion
study is often complemented by a ventilation study. Intermediate probability scans are …

Purpose The objective of this study was to examine the feasibility of fusing ventilation and
perfusion data from single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) ventilation …

The ventilation/perfusion lung scan has been in continuous use for approximately half a
century, the same lifetime as Seminars in Nuclear Medicine. Remarkably, the founding …

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 …

Combining the functional data provided by single-photon emission computed tomography
(SPECT) with the anatomical information provided by CT has been shown to improve overall …

Planar ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) scanning is often used to investigate pulmonary
embolism; however, it has well-recognized limitations. SPECT overcomes many of these …

Compared with planar imaging, ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy performed with single-
photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has a greater sensitivity and specificity …
