  3. VQ Scan Pulmonary Embolism

    show more
    Description: Ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy in a woman taking oral contraceptives and valdecoxib. (A) After inhalation of 20.1 mCi of Xenon-133 gas, scintigraphic images were obtained in the posterior projection, showing uniform ventilation to lungs. (B) After intravenous injection of 4.1 mCi of Technetium-99m-labeled macroaggregated albumin, scintigraphic images were obtained, shown here in the posterior projection. This and other views showed decreased activity in the following regions: apical segment of right upper lobe, anterior segment of right upper lobe, superior segment of right lower lobe, posterior basal segment of right lower lobe, anteromedial basal segment of left lower lobe, and lateral basal segment of left lower lobe.

  4. Diagnostic algorithm: Pulmonary embolism

    show more
    Description: A diagnostic algorithm for pulmonary embolism (estimated frequencies of test results and associated prevalences of pulmonary embolism for a hypothetical cohort of 1000 outpatients) [1]. If a very sensitive D-dimer assay is used, it can be the first test performed: a negative result excludes pulmonary embolism regardless of clinical assessment category and a positive test can be followed by a ventilation–perfusion scan [2]. A ventilation–perfusion scan can be performed as the initial test without using clinical assessment of the probability of pulmonary embolism as part of the diagnostic process [3]. Pulmonary angiography or helical CT may be considered if the clinical assessment of pulmonary embolism probability is low, particularly if a D-dimer test has not been done [4]. Additional testing (e.g., helical CT, bilateral venography) may be considered if overall assessment suggests a high probability of pulmonary embolism (e.g., 50%–80%), symptoms are severe or cardiopulmonary reserve is poor [5]. Venography should be considered if there is an increased risk of a false-positive ultrasound result (e.g., previous venous thromboembolism, equivocal ultrasound findings, preceding findings suggest low probability of pulmonary embolism [e.g., ≤ 10%]) [6]. It is reasonable not to repeat ultrasound testing, or to do only 1 more ultrasound after 1 week, if preceding findings suggest a low probability of pulmonary embolism (e.g., ≤ 10%) [7]. If helical CT is used in place of ventilation–perfusion lung scanning: (i) intraluminal filling defects in segmental or larger pulmonary arteries are generally diagnostic for pulmonary embolism; (ii) all other findings (i.e., a normal CT scan or intraluminal filling defects confined to the subsegmental pulmonary arteries) are nondiagnostic and can be managed as shown for a nondiagnostic lung scan.

    show more
    Description: Sinus tachycardia (107 bpm), peaked P waves in leads II, II, aVF and V1 (P pulmonale), right access deviation, and delayed precordial transition zone in which the net QRS does not become positive until lead V5. Nonspecific ST-T abnormalities are also present. Although not seen here, patients with COPD often have low voltage in the limb leads

    Description: 1. Right middle lobe airspace opacification. Opacification can be due to multiple causes: blood, infection, edema, infarction, infiltration, or consolidation are the main causes. 2. Obscured right heart border c/w silhouette sign. 3. Slight blunting of right costophrenic angle c/w small pleural effusion. ****parapneumonic effusion**** the old adage is never let the sun set (or rise depending on your shift) on a parapneumonic effusion 4. Silhouette of right hemidiaphragm as well as right heart border.
