A Study on the Intrapulmonary Shunt Measured by (99m) Tc-MAA Perfusion Lung Scan / 영남의대학술지

ABSTRACT

Intrapulmonary shunt measured by (99m)Tc-MAA perfusion lung scan. The study was included 76 patients. Significant amount of intrapulmonary shunt was observed in the pulmonary disease patients and liver disease patients. The shunt amount was correlated well with PaO2 and AaDO2 level. Further study is needed to search the various factors affecting the amount of intrapulmonary shunt.
