MATERIALS AND METHODS Since the middle of 1975, 310 patients in our clinic have
received perfusion lung studies by means of a scintillation camera. From these studies we …

The Perfusion lung scan is currently the simplest and most readily available method for
obtaining semiquantitative estimates of regional pulmonary blood flow and for localizing …

Pulmonary perfusion patterns resulting from the use of commercially available MAA 131I
imaging procedures have been used widely in the last five years in an attempt to identify …

The appearance of the lung scans in 61 clinically asymptomatic volunteers is described. Of
the 61 volunteers, 16%(10 subjects) exhibited some type of perfusion defect. Six subjects …

The most important clinical application of radioisotope lung scanning appears to be in the
diagnosis of pulmonary embolic disease. With experience, however, it has become evident …

This study examines (he accuracy of radionuclide methods currently used for assessing
regional pulmonary function in patients. Dogs were heparinized, exsanguinated, and their …

To determine how pulmonary respiratory motion affects detection of pulmonary emboli, 11
dogs had routine lung scans and gated or cinematic perfusion images after undergoing …

A total of 116 perfusion lung images, with and without posterior oblique views, were
compared by four trained observers. There was a significant increase in the number of …

METHODS One hundred and five consecutive patients who had both pulmonary
scintigraphy and angiography in the past 3 years were the subjects of this study. Seventy …

In the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism some centres using 133 Xe for comparison with
multiple view 99 Tc m perfusion images perform only single-breath posterior view ventilation …
