Diagnostic impact of pulmonary ventilation and perfusion SPECT/CT for differentiating lung diseases

Conclusions: Detailed pulmonary ventilation to perfusion mismatch in PTE, PE, and PID patients was quantified calculating %VPM from pulmonary ventilation and perfusion SPECT images. All analyzed disease may have recognizable VPM. Moreover, %VPM cannot differentiate PTE and PE patients.
