Quantification of the liver to lung shunt in Tc99m-MAA perfusion scintigraphy using SPECT/low-dose-CT: A Pilot Study

• Conditions: C78.7; C22; Secondary malignant neoplasm of liver and intrahepatic bile duct; Malignant neoplasm of liver and intrahepatic bile ducts

• Registration Number: DRKS00011580
• Lead Sponsor: Klinik für Radiologie und NuklearmedizinUniversität Magdeburg

Brief Summary

Although LD-CT protocols commonly used in hybrid imaging have a poor image quality not suitable for primary CT diagnostics, they enable detection of a variety of anatomical structures. LDCT can therefore also be referenced in the associated reports for anatomical correlation of findings from SPECT imaging.
