Product catalog summary
Pneumology VQ Overview
This document focuses on the use of Lung SPECT VQ imaging in pneumology, particularly for evaluating lung function and perfusion. It highlights the importance of V/Q ratio images in identifying perfusion defects and potential pulmonary embolism.

Key Studies and References
  • Wechalekar et al. (2018) discuss pre-surgical evaluation of lung function.
  • Schaefer et al. (2018) explore volume/perfusion ratio from lung SPECT/CT.
  • Trahair et al. (2019) examine the role of 99mTc-MAA SPECT/CT in evaluating lung lobar perfusion in COPD patients.
  • Knollmann et al. (2016) compare manual and semi-automatic approaches for 3D quantification of pulmonary lobe perfusion.
  • Thillainathan et al. (2013) compare 2D planar and 3D SPECT-CT quantification of lung function.
  • Knollmann et al. (2018) question the necessity of hybrid SPECT/CT for pre-interventional 3D quantification.

Technical Features
  • The application allows for synchronized navigation of tomographic ventilation and perfusion images.
  • V/Q ratio images are automatically created to highlight perfusion defects.
  • Subtraction images correct for over-ventilation by subtracting ventilation counts from perfusion SPECT.
  • Combining SPECT with CT increases reporting confidence by correlating functional defects with anatomical information.
