One of the main problems encountered in the analysis of ventilation/perfusion (V/P) lung
scans for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) is difficulty in assessing the size of the …

Lung scintigraphy is the primary tool for diagnostics of pulmonary embolism. A perfusion
study is often complemented by a ventilation study. Intermediate probability scans are …

Aim of the study was to introduce and verify a ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) acquisition protocol
that incorporates new developments in scintigraphy in order to allow for a more balanced …

Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) has replaced planar imaging in
many areas of nuclear medicine. Given its superior contrast resolution and improved …

Ventilation/perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (V/Q SPECT) is the
scintigraphic technique of choice for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism and many other …

Perfusion lung imaging for diagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) was introduced 50 y ago
(1). At that time, it offered a noninvasive alternative to pulmonary angiography in patients …

V/P-SPECT is a sensitive and specific procedure for the detection or exclusion of pulmonary
embolism. It is important to conform to the guidelines in order to obtain reliable results. The …

Ventilation/perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (V/P SPECT) is the
scintigraphic technique recommended primarily for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary …

In the March issue of this respected journal, the role of lung scintigraphy and multidetector
computed tomography (MDCT) for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) was …

SPECT of ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) lung scans not only improves the diagnostic accuracy
of the method but also facilitates the application of advanced image-processing techniques …
