Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is the only potentially curable
form of pulmonary hypertension. Rapid and accurate diagnosis is pivotal for successful …

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 …

The diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) is usually established by a combination of
clinical assessment, D-dimer testing, and imaging with either pulmonary ventilation …

OBJECTIVE: Aims were (1) to determine the diagnostic accuracy of Dual Energy CT (DECT)
in the detection of perfusion defects and (2) to evaluate the potential of DECT to improve the …

Aim. The aim of this retrospective study is to illustrate clinical utility and impact of pulmonary
embolism (PE) diagnostics of up to date Ventilation/Perfusion SPECT (V/PSPECT) applying …

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 …

Objective To verify the negative predictive value of pulmonary ventilation/perfusion
scintigraphy with single photon emission computed tomography (V/Q SPECT) in ruling out …

Rationale and Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracies of
ventilation/perfusion-single photon emission computed tomography (V/Q-SPECT) imaging …

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 …
