Abstract
In this article, we describe the concepts of ventilation-perfusion planar, SPECT, and SPECT/CT and outline the advantages of integrated ventilation-perfusion SPECT/CT over planar imaging. We present an overview of the traditional and new applications of ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy. SPECT/CT has improved the diagnostic accuracy of ventilation-perfusion imaging and opened the door for a new spectrum of applications.
