Zusammenfassung

Die Ventilations- und Perfusions-SPECT der Lunge stellt eine sinnvolle Weiterentwicklung dieser Untersuchung dar. Nach einem kurzen technischen Überblick werden Einsatzmöglichkeiten und Ergebnisse den klinischen Fragestellungen Lungenembolie, Voraussage der postoperativen Lungenfunktion sowie pulmonale Radioaerosoldeposition und Clearance diskutiert.

Abstract

Imaging of the pulmonary ventilation and perfusion by using SPECT proved to be a useful development of this examination. At first this article gives a brief overview of the technical aspects followed by a discussion of clinical questions regarding pulmonary embolism, preoperative assessment of postoperative lung function as well as radioaerosol deposition and clearance.
