Pre-operative Evaluation of Patients with Single Pulmonary Nodule/ Lung Mass using Quantitative SPECT/CT Perfusion Lung Scan
Conclusion: Quantitative SPECT/CT is useful in pre-surgical evaluation or radiation treatment planning of patients with pulmonary nodule or lung mass. Larger sample size of patients with underlying emphysema is needed to further evaluate the utility of this technique. We recommend Quantitative perfusion SPECT/CT for lobar assessment than traditional regional quantitative perfusion prior to surgery.
