The conclusions drawn from ventilation/perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography compared with lung perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography and chest radiography in patients with suspected pulmonary thromboembolism
Conclusion
Our study showed that the omission of a ventilation SPECT led to a high rate of false-positive diagnoses and that the ventilation scan cannot be replaced by a chest radiography.
