Or may be secondarily associated with lung or pleural-based Secondary pnuemothorax may occur iatrogenically with procedures Lung defects are more likely to be caused by other etiologies. Unilateral, matching lung defects are unlikely to represent pulmonaryĮmboli, especially if the other lung is normal or only has Lung, when compared with the same area on the ventilation images.ĬXR: Standard chest radiograph obtained after worrysomeįindings on the ventilation/perfusion scans demonstrateĪ large, secondary pneumothorax, with marked collapse of the Overall, perfusion is slightly better to the right lung Perfusion defects are noted in the left middle and upper lungįields. View demonstrates the anterior-posterior extent of perfusion Of the right lung on anterior and posterior views. Vertical-band of activity extending along the medial aspect In addition, perfusion images demonstrate a The left lung base in a pattern matching the ventilationĪbnormality. Perfusion: Perfusion images demonstrate hypoperfusion to Upon careful inspection, a photon defecient area encompassing much of the expected area of the right lung, with overall less activity than the normal background is seen. Essentially noĪctivity is appreciated in the right lung on washin images.įaint activity can be appreciated along the right hilum To the left lung base on washin images, and significant Ventilation of the left lung, with relative hypoventilation
