Purpose Single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) combined with computed
tomography (CT) was introduced as a hybrid SPECT/CT imaging modality two decades ago …

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

Pulmonary embolism (PE) can only be diagnosed with imaging techniques, which in
practice is performed using ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy (V/P SCAN) or multidetector …

Purpose Planar ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy is currently the standard method for
the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) in most nuclear medicine centers. However …

Background Fluorine-enhanced MRI is a relatively inexpensive and straightforward
technique that facilitates regional assessments of pulmonary ventilation. In this report, we …

The purpose of this review was to evaluate the accuracy of SPECT in acute pulmonary
embolism. Sparse data are available on the accuracy of SPECT based on an objective …

Although widely used for many years in the assessment of pulmonary embolism, planar
ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy has well-recognized limitations. Single-photon …

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is a complication of venous
thromboembolic disease. Differently from other causes of pulmonary hypertension, CTEPH …

Background Planar ventilation/perfusion () lung scintigraphy is a validated tool for the
diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE). Nevertheless, given the high rate of nonconclusive …

Background: Ventilation/perfusion single-emission photon CT (V/P-SPECT) is widely used to
detect pulmonary embolism (PE). Any pathological deficit on P-SPECT with a corresponding …
