Is the lung scan alive and well? Facts and controversies in defining the role of lung scintigraphy for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in the era of MDCT

Abstract: The consultants reached a consensus that the continued use of scintigraphy for diagnosis of thromboembolic disease is recommended, particularly in scenarios where scintigraphy confers specific benefits and is complementary to MDCT.

“…20 It can, therefore, detect abnormalities particularly at the subsegmental level and in the lung bases, where the segments are tightly packed. 20 Single photon emission CT V/Q scans, compared with planar V/Q scans, showed more and better delineated mismatched defects, improved quantification, and less interobserver variation. 21 Review showed that the sensitivity of SPECT was often higher than planar V/Q.…”

“…Учитывая, что V/Q сцинтиграфия сопровожда ется меньшим воздействием радиации и рентгено контрастных веществ, этот метод предпочтителен у амбулаторных больных с низкой клинической ве роятностью ТЭЛА и нормальной рентгенограммой грудной клетки, у молодых больных, в основном у женщин, беременных, больных с непереноси мостью рентгеноконтрастных веществ и выражен ными аллергическими реакциями в анамнезе, при тяжелой почечной недостаточности, миеломе и па рапротеинемии [149].…”

Normal akciğer grafisine sahip düşük klinik olasılıklı hastalarda, özel-likle genç kadın hastalarda, hamilelerde, kontrasta bağlı anafilaksi ya da bilinen alerjisi öyküsü olan hastalarda, ciddi renal yetmezlikte ve miyelom ve paraproteinemi hastalarında düşük radyasyon dozu ve kontrast madde uygulanmaması nedeniyle V/P sintigrafisi seçilecek gö-rüntüleme yöntemi olabilir (14).…”
