Diagnostic importance of lung perfusion/ventilation scans in the evaluation of pulmonary embolism in COVID-19 patients: systematic review of the literature.
Nucl Med Commun
March 2023
Nuclear Medicine Research Center, Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran.
Objective: To investigate the outcomes of ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy on the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) patients, we performed a systematic review of the available literature.
Materials And Methods: PubMed and Scopus were systematically searched up to 4 June 2022, for relevant studies. We included studies on patients with COVID-19 who have performed ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism to describe any diagnosis outcome.
Recurrent Pleuritic Chest Pain, Lobar Consolidation, and Pleural Effusion in a 50-Year-Old Woman.

A 50-year-old woman with a history of permanent atrial fibrillation (AF) treated with radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) 6 months ago was admitted to the respiratory department of a tertiary hospital because of recurrent episodes of pleuritic chest pain in the preceding 5 months. The patient reported multiple visits to a regional hospital, where she was treated with broad-spectrum antibiotics after discovery of a left alveolar consolidation on chest radiograph (Fig 1), subsequently imaged with CT scan (Fig 2). On treatment failure and appearance of a left-sided pleural effusion during outpatient follow-up, the patient was re-admitted.

A 29-year-old patient after blunt chest trauma with right lung atelectasis and pulmonary empyema was referred for lung ventilation and perfusion scintigraphy before right-sided pneumonectomy. Radionuclide imaging revealed severely reduced perfusion and lack of ventilation in the collapsed right lung. Additionally, it showed a matching lobar perfusion-ventilation defect in the lower left lobe, which, apart from consolidation area in posterior basal segment, appeared normal in computed tomography.

Background: Allergic non-asthmatic (ANA) adults experience upper airway symptoms of allergic disease such as rhinorrhea, congestion and sneezing without symptoms of asthma. The aim of this study was to utilize PET-CT functional imaging to determine whether allergen challenge elicits a pulmonary response in ANA subjects or whether their allergic disease is truly isolated to the upper airways.
Methods: In 6 ANA subjects, bronchoalveolar lavages (BAL) were performed at baseline and 24h after instillation of an allergen and a diluent in separate lung lobes.
Ventilation/Perfusion Positron Emission Tomography--Based Assessment of Radiation Injury to Lung.

Purpose: To investigate (68)Ga-ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) as a novel imaging modality for assessment of perfusion, ventilation, and lung density changes in the context of radiation therapy (RT).
Methods And Materials: In a prospective clinical trial, 20 patients underwent 4-dimensional (4D)-V/Q PET/CT before, midway through, and 3 months after definitive lung RT. Eligible patients were prescribed 60 Gy in 30 fractions with or without concurrent chemotherapy.
