68Gallium Ventilation/Perfusion PET-CT and CT pulmonary angiography for pulmonary embolism diagnosis: an interobserver agreement study.

Conclusions: Interobserver agreement in the interpretation of V/Q PET-CT for PE diagnosis was almost perfect. Further studies are now needed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the test and the impact in the management of patients with suspected PE. Agreement was lower with CTPA, mainly as a result of discrepancies in the subsegmental arteries.
