Rationale and Objectives This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracies of
ventilation/perfusion-single photon emission computed tomography (V/Q-SPECT) imaging …

Ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) lung scans constitute one of the oldest nuclear medicine
procedures, remain one of the few studies performed in the acute setting, and are amongst …

Introduction Pulmonary embolism is a common cause of cardiopulmonary mortality and
morbidity worldwide. Survivors of acute pulmonary embolism may experience dyspnea …

The annual incidence of acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is one in 1000 person worldwide.
1 PE accounts for 100,000 deaths annually in the United States. 2 Although the true mortality …

D-dimer levels significantly increase with declining renal function and hence, renal function-
adjusted D-dimer cutoffs to rule out pulmonary embolism were suggested. Aim of this study …

We are thankful to Bonnefoy et al.[1] for their insights into the diagnostic imaging of
pulmonary embolism (PE) based on such a large population. It is, as they mention, more …

This thesis examines the use of artificial intelligence (AI) for enhancing photon counts in
ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) scans. V/Q scintigraphy is essential in the nuclear medicine field …

Ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scans constitute one of the oldest studies in nuclear medicine,
dating as far back as the 1960s. 1, 2 While lung scintigraphy can serve to evaluate lung …

肺栓塞是一种常见的心血管疾病, 也是其最常见的死亡原因之一, 由于肺栓塞的临床表现缺乏
特异性, 因此, 及时准确的诊断至关重要, 目前, 影像学检查已成为诊断肺栓塞的重要手段 …
