Serial change of respiratory function of non-transplanted lung after unilateral lung transplantation-Comparison of CT volumetric-
Conclusions: After the unilateral lung transplantation, both perfusion and ventilation were gradually and continuously decreased in non-transplanted lung. Both Tc-99m MAA perfusion scintigraphy and Kr-81m lung ventilation scintigraphy was useful tool for monitoring respiratory function in patients who would be undergone unilateral lung transplantation.
