Comparison of the predicted postoperative lung function to the actual postoperative remaining lung function. Calculation of the FEV1 and DLCO for the respective methods. n = 21. Values are expressed in liters and percentages (%) of the expected age-, sex-, and body height-dependent value. The differences in the calculated predicted and the measured values are given in % of SD for each method (brackets).
| Predicted Postoperative Lung Function | Measured Remaining Lung Function | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Segment Counting Method | Planar Perfusion Scintigraphy (Mende Method) | Perfusion-SPECT-Based Quantification | ||
| FEV1 | 1.1 L (±0.3) 45% (±13%) |
1.3 L (±0.3 SD) 49% (±12%) |
1.4 L (±0.4) 53% (±14%) |
1.4 L (±0.3) 56 % (±15%) |
| DLCO | 39% (±14.4%) | 43% (±15%) | 47% (±17%) | 49% (±20%) |
