Ventilation and perfusion SPECT images during tidal breathing were studied in 15 cases of lung cancer using 81mKr gas and 99mTc-microspheres. Furthermore, functional images of V/Q ratio and Q/V ratio were prepared, and their clinical significance is discussed with reference to general lung function.
In normal subjects breathing spontaneously, compliance has been shown to be influenced by the lung volume from which deflation started. We wondered whether this would also be true for patients with acute respiratory failure who required mechanical ventilation and we accordingly studied 15 such patie
