Dynamic perfusion MRI versus perfusion scintigraphy: prediction of postoperative lung function in patients with lung cancer.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the capability of dynamic perfusion MRI as an alternative to pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy for prediction of postoperative lung function in patients with lung cancer. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. Sixty patients with lung cancer (35 men, 25 women) underwent dynamic perfusion MRI, perfusion scintigraphy, and preoperative and postoperative pulmonary...
متن کاملQuantitative lung perfusion scintigraphy and detection of intrapulmonary shunt in liver cirrhosis.
OBJECTIVE Frequent association between liver cirrhosis and hypoxemia has been well documented. It is mostly attributable to intrapulmonary shunt due to dilation of pulmonary vasculature. We performed quantitative lung perfusion scintigraphy to detect an intrapulmonary shunt in cirrhosis patients. METHODS Prior to injection, Tc-99m MAA was applied to thin layer chromatography for quality contr...
متن کاملDistribution of lung blood on modified bilateral Glenn shunt evaluated by Tc-99m-MAA lung perfusion scintigraphy
The aim of the present study was to determine the distribution of lung blood in a modified bilateral Glenn procedure designed in our institute with lung perfusion scintigraphy. Sixteen consecutive patients who underwent modified bilateral Glenn operation from 2011 to 2014 were enrolled in the study. The control group consisted of 7 patients who underwent bidirectional Glenn shunt. Radionuclide ...
متن کاملVentilation/perfusion lung scintigraphy. Multiple applications besides pulmonary embolism.
Ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy is the diagnostic tool of choice for detection and monitoring of pulmonary embolism. However, the knowledge on its value for other or concurrent pathologies is poor. In this review scintigraphic characteristics of the main pathologies, interpretation and artefacts are described. Together with the understanding of pathophysiology of the lung, the potential gain...
