Quantitated scintillation scanning for the measurement of lung perfusion

E S Garnett 1,2, B A Goddard 1,2, E S Machell 1,2, W M Macleod 1,2
PMCID: PMC471981  PMID: 5810381

Abstract

A method using quantitated lung scans is described for the accurate proportioning of lung perfusion. The results obtained by this method have been compared directly with those obtained from bronchospirometry, and a good correlation has been obtained (r = + 0·93).
