Prediction of postoperative lung function in lung cancer patients using perfusion scintigraphy.
Conclusion Predictions with each processing method of lung perfusion scintigraphy showed nearly similar results to the actual postoperative lung function. The posterior oblique method of lung perfusion scintigraphy showed a very small difference to such an extent as to be equal to the observed FEV1, implying that this method may be applied for predicting postoperative lung function in lung cancer patients.
