Although hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction is a well-recognized physiological phenomenon it is unusual to observe and assess its efficiency in clinical practice. Here, we report the case of a 50-year-old female who presented with unilateral incomplete bronchial occlusion due to a carcinoid tumor involving the left main bronchus in the absence of atelectasis. Ventilation-perfusion imaging revea...
In this case report we describe an unusual appearance seen on a ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan in a woman with pulmonary hypertension. Although the pulmonary hypertension was not caused by pulmonary emboli, the V/Q scan suggested several cardiac anomalies which may lead to pulmonary hypertension. Most of the cardiac anomalies, including right-sided aortic arch and right-to-left shunt, can be ...
In this paper, we propose a face recognition algorithm based on a combination of vector quantization (VQ) and Markov stationary features (MSF). The VQ algorithm has been shown to be an effective method for generating features; it extracts a codevector histogram as a facial feature representation for face recognition. Still, the VQ histogram features are unable to convey spatial structural infor...
Twenty-five patients with a clinically suggestive diagnosis of pulmonary embolism were referred directly from the accident and emergency department for a ventilation and perfusion isotope scan. On the basis of a negative scan, the authors were able to discharge 19 patients. The advantages of having direct access to isotope imaging are described.
reverse redistribution pattern is defined as decreased activity in the myocardium in the rest phase of the myocardial perfusion scan in comparison with the stress images. there are many studies concerning the etiology and clinical significant of this phenomenon in nuclear medicine literature. the dominant idea about etiology of reverse redistribution is early wash out of the radiotracer from th...
statement of the problem periodontitis is a common infectious disease that can be affected by different factors.periodontal conditions can be influenced by systemic diseases and they also can act as risk factors for some systemic diseases. several studies have been carried out on the relationship between cardiovascular disease and periodontal disease. purpose the purpose of our study was to eva...
We present the case of a 3-year-old boy with nephrotic syndrome with mild respiratory symptoms who was shown by ventilation-perfusion scan to have pulmonary embolism. He responded well to anticoagulant therapy.
OBJECTIVES Aiming to improve the anatomical resolution of electrical impedance tomography images, we developed a fuzzy model based on electrical impedance tomography's high temporal resolution and on the functional pulmonary signals of perfusion and ventilation. INTRODUCTION Electrical impedance tomography images carry information about both ventilation and perfusion. However, these images ar...
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...
UNLABELLED We performed Ventilation/Perfusion scans for patients planned for thoracotomy with resection of the primary or metastatic lung tumors. We predicted the post-operative FEV1 (Forced Expiratory Volume in first second) using Differential Lung Analysis software. METHODS 34 patients were evaluated with Ventilation/Perfusion (V/Q) scans. Ventilation scan was performed with Tc-99m DTPA Aer...
