  • Title: [Radioisotopic studies and pulmonary thromboembolic diseases].
    Author: Collignon MA.
    Journal: Rev Mal Respir; 1999 Nov; 16(5 Pt 2):894-906. PubMed ID: 10907439.
    Abstract:
    Perfusion and ventilation-perfusion lung scans are widely used as pivotal tests in the diagnostic work-up of patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism. Lung scan is a safe and reliable non invasive method to evaluate pulmonary blood flow restoration after an acute pulmonary embolism. The follow-up lung scan performed at completion of anticoagulant therapy serves as a new baseline for the diagnosis of recurrent pulmonary embolism.
