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 …

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 …

Background: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is diagnosed either by ventilation/perfusion (V/Q)
scintigraphy or pulmonary CT angiography. One of the imaging methods used in nuclear …

Planar lung scintigraphy is a standard method used for the diagnosis of lung embolism, but it
is hampered by the high incidence of nondiagnostic tests. Ventilation/perfusion SPECT may …

Aim of the study was to introduce and verify a ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) acquisition protocol
that incorporates new developments in scintigraphy in order to allow for a more balanced …

One of the main problems encountered in the analysis of ventilation/perfusion (V/P) lung
scans for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) is difficulty in assessing the size of the …

Lung scintigraphy is primarily used to diagnose pulmonary embolism. Ventilation imaging is
often performed using 99mTc-DTPA or Technegas, an ultrafine dispersion of 99mTc-labeled …

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

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 …

V/PSPECT has the potential to become a first hand tool for diagnosis of pulmonary
embolism based on standardized technology and new holistic interpretation criteria. Pretest …
