The added value of lung perfusion scintigraphy semiquantitative measures in post-COVID patients with persistent dyspnea without pulmonary embolism

CONCLUSIONS: In post-COVID dyspnea without PE, lung perfusion scintigraphy may reveal a pulmonary involvement not detectable by hrCT. Post-COVID patients may show decreased perfusion rates of lower pulmonary fields in the presence of normal vascular density and markers of inflammation/coagulation.PMID:37897179 | DOI:10.1080/17434440.2023.2277236
