Abstract: | PurposeV/P-SPECT lung scan can be combined with computerized tomography (CT) from hybrid camera. We investigated if CT data could be use only with perfusion scans for the diagnosis of acute pulmonary embolism (PE).Patients and methodsIn a retrospective study, 75 consecutives patients, referred for suspicion of PE, underwent SPECT ventilation and perfusion scans coupled with a CT on Symbia T2. The perfusion images (P-SPECT) were classified as normal or abnormal with systematized (segmental and sub-segmental) or not systematized perfusion abnormalities. The ventilation images (V-SPECT) were considered as normal or abnormal in light of perfusion defects. The same was done for CT images. Correlations between V-SPECT and CT were studied.ResultsHence, 28 patients had a normal P-SPECT and did not have PE. Patients (47) had an abnormal P-SPECT (among them, 16 turned out to have PE and 31 did not). There were 192 perfusion abnormalities of which 81 were segmental and 81 sub-segmental. Corresponding to these abnormalities, V-SPECT and CT were concordant in 83 % of the cases. When not-concordant, V-SPECT abnormalities with normal CT were found in 14 % of the cases and CT abnormalities with normal V-SPECT were found in 3 % of the cases. According to the EANM guidelines for PE diagnosis, sensitivity was 88 % and specificity 93 % with V/P-SPECT and 100 % and 83 % respectively with CT/P-SPECT (p = NS).ConclusionV/P-SPECT remains slightly more specific for the diagnosis of PE. However, this study demonstrates that CT/P-SPECT obtained with hybrid camera could be used for PE diagnosis with performances similar to V/P-SPECT. If these results would be confirmed on larger populations, this could lead to a significant reduction of scanning time which would improve patient comfort and reduce the camera load. |
