Pulmonary ventilation/perfusion single photon emission tomography â Initial experience of a Nuclear Medicine Department
Introduction: Lung ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy with planar images (V/QS-planar) is very useful for the diagnosis and follow-up of pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Acquiring tomographic images (V/QS-SPECT) is a recent development with potential to increase the technique's accuracy. The pu...
