Regional ventilation studies with Kr-81m and Xe-133: a comparative analysis.
Krypton-81m and Xe-133 ventilation scintigrams, and particulate per fusion scintigrams with Tc-99m, were obtained on the same day in 41 pa tients. Of 14 studies demonstrating pulmonary embolism, Kr-81m corn plernented the perfusion study better than Xe-133 in seven and was judged essential for that diagnosis in two. Xenon-133 was better in none. On the other hand, in 29 studies with obstructive...
متن کاملPulmonary sequelae in survivors of congenital diaphragmatic hernia.
Nineteen survivors of congenital diaphragmatic hernia repair were compared with age and sex matched control children six to 11 years after repair. All subjects were examined clinically and underwent lung function testing. The patients also had individual lung volumes assessed radiographically and had radionuclide (krypton-81 m, technetium-99 m macroaggregates) ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) lung s...
متن کاملContinuing Education Ventilation Scintigraphy
Ventilation scintigraphy is a well-established adjunct to perfusion lung imaging in the diagnosis of pulmonary thromboembolus (PE). Although PE may be diagnosed with a standard chest radiograph and perfusion scintigraphy, the findings may be largely nonspecific due to the many types oflung pathology that result in perfusion defects. The specificity of the perfusion (Q) study may be substantiall...
متن کاملInvestigating the small lung: which imaging procedure?
Ventilation and perfusion radionuclide lung scans, using krypton 81m and technetium-99m macroaggregates, were performed together with a variety of other imaging procedures in 18 children aged between 1 week and 13 years in whom radiology had shown a small lung. Radionuclide scans provided an assessment of regional ventilation and perfusion unobtainable by other means, and 4 main categories of d...
متن کاملRadioation Protect during the Ventilation Scintigraphy of Tc99m DTPA Radioaerosol in Pediatric Application
Lung ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy is of great value for the management of patients with both primary lung disease and heart disease, by proving pathophysiological information of importance for the diagnosis, follow-up and functional evaluation of the patients. Krypton 81m radioactive gas is preferable for pediatric application due to its short half-life. However, the rubidium-krypton 81m ...
