Study Guide for Lung Scintigraphy
- Identify and define the anatomical structures in the lung. Link
- Consider the role gravity plays on the lungs and identify how this effects ventilation and circulation? Link
- Assess the values of PO2 levels. Link
- Evaluate V/Q for the assessment of: PE, COPD, and Ca. Link
- Discuss and compare the following radiopharmaceuticals used in V/Q imagine: 99m TcMAA, 99m TcHAM, 133Xe, 127Xe, 81m Kr, and 99mTcDTPA
- Understand the role of DTV and its progression to PE. Link
- Diagram a 133Xe ventilation system and understand the imaging procedure. Link
- Diagram a radioaerosol delivery system. Link
- Compare 133Xe to 99m TcDTPA in ventilation imaging. Link
- Understand the production of BuckyBalls. Link
- Calculate a split lung. Link
- Review and understand the V/Q procedures. See Procedures
