Lobar Quantification by Ventilation/Perfusion SPECT/CT in Patients with Severe Emphysema Undergoing Lung Volume Reduction with Endobronchial Valves

Conclusion: Semi-automatic SPECT/CT analysis can quantify volume, ventilation and perfusion changes in pulmonary lobes and may be used in the assessment of patient eligibility for ELVR, identifying target lobes, and evaluation of the regional effects of treatment.Respiration
