Ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy is established for regional assessment of lung
function in a variety of diseases, including pulmonary embolism (PE). PET/CT may further …

Gallium-68 (68 Ga) is a positron-emitting radionuclide suitable for positron emission
tomography (PET) imaging that has a number of convenient features—it has a physical half …

Purpose Our group has previously reported on the use of 68 Ga-ventilation/perfusion (VQ)
PET/CT scanning for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism. We describe here the …

Methods Fifty-three patients (24 male and 29 female) underwent lung scintigraphy with 68
Ga-labelled radiopharmaceuticals. 68 Ga Galligas and B20 microspheres used for V and Q …

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

Pulmonary imaging using ventilation/perfusion (V/P) single-photon emission tomography
(V/P scan) with Tc-99m-labeled radiotracers is a well-established diagnostic tool for …

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 …

Purpose Ventilation/perfusion tomography (V/P SPECT), with new interpretation criteria and
newer tracers for ventilation imaging, has markedly improved the diagnostic yield in acute …

Background Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a severe condition with nonspecific symptoms.
Diagnosis relies on medical imaging but follow-up is currently based on clinical symptoms …

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is diagnosed with imaging techniques such as
ventilation/perfusion (V/P) lung scintigraphy or multidetector computed tomography of the …
