Emission tomography in embolic lung disease: Angiographic correlations

https://doi.org/10.1016/S0009-9260(82)80304-8Get rights and content

The data from 84 patients with suspected embolic lung disease who underwent radionuclide section scanning of the chest is reported. All underwent additional conventional planar imaging; specific angiographic evidence of embolic disease was available in 12 cases. A good correlation between the section scans and angiography was obtained. Greater sensitivity in lesion detection was obtained by multiplane section imaging, which should reduce the number of diagnostic uncertainties in embolic lung disease.
