Diagnosis of thromboembolic disease: Combined ventilation perfusion lung scan and compression ultrasonography
The clinical management of pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis of the legs are similar and requires prolonged anticoagulation therapy. The standard diagnostic approach in patients suspected of pulmonary embolism is ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) lung scan and compression ultrasonography to detect deep venous thrombosis. This retrospective study analyzed the role of V/Q lung scan an...
متن کاملSpurious lung perfusion ventilation defect on planar ventilation-perfusion scan detected by SPECT imaging
Pulmonary embolism (PE) is a preventable cause of morbidity and mortality which needs prompt recognition. Ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is a well-established diagnostic test for evaluation of suspected PE. We report a 32-year-old woman with history of rheumatologic disease and acute dyspnea, who was referred for V/Q scintigraphy. The planar images revealed multiple mismatched defects through...
متن کاملDetermination of Diagnostic Value of Albumin, Anti Thrombin Ш, and Fibrinogen Factors in the Diagnosis of Pulmonary Embolism Compared to Lung Perfusion Scan in Patients with Nephrotic Syndrome
Bachground: The aim of this study was to determine of diagnostic value of albumin, anti-thrombin Ш, and fibrinogen factors in the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism compared to lung perfusion scan in patients with nephrotic syndrome referred to Hazrat Ali Asghar hospital of Tehran city (Iran) in 2018-2019. Methods: This study was cross sectional study that was carried out on 30 patients with nep...
متن کاملVentilation studies and the perfusion lung scan.
hypothyroidism is increased dietary iodine is certainly weakened by the observation that radioresistance was not found in carbimazoleor perchlorate-treated patients. As we stated in the article and as Dr. Wiener has emphasized, the only evidence for iodine as a cause of increased hypothyroidism depends on phar macologie doses. In a manner similar to this last statement, the only obvious differe...
متن کاملPulmonary embolism among patients with a nearly normal ventilation/perfusion lung scan.
BACKGROUND Among patients with nearly normal ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) lung scans in the Prospective Investigation of Pulmonary Embolism Diagnosis (PIOPED), pulmonary embolism (PE) was diagnosed more frequently in those who underwent pulmonary angiography than in those in whom PE was diagnosed on the basis of an adverse outcome while receiving no anticoagulant therapy. This may suggest that a...
