In the light of histopathological findings and post-PEA surgical specimen examinations, the results of the present study indicated that both V/Q SPECT/CT and V/Q Quotient SPECT showed relatively high efficacy for the detection of CTEPH on per-patient and per-segment bases with an excellent agreement.
