Radioisotope Photoscanning In Pulmonary Disease³

Chicago, Illinois

ABSTRACT

The current status of lung scanning is difficult to define as it is undergoing change continually. This is the usual pattern of new radioisotope scanning procedures.

It does appear that lung scanning will offer a real contribution to the evaluation of patients with pulmonary parenchymal and vascular diseases.

The usefulness of the vascular and inhalatory lung scans in pulmonaryembolus diagnosis is proven; in bronchiectasis and emphysema is promising; sand in neoplastic disease is unclear.
