ABSTRACT
Ventilation-perfusion SPECT with or without CT using technetium 99m (99mTc)-diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) has been used to identify patterns typical of cardiopulmonary diseases, such as pulmonary embolism, pneumonia, heart failure, and obstructive lung disease. This case demonstrates the utility of a ventilation scan with SPECT/CT using 99mTc-DTPA for investigating the cause of a persistent complex pneumothorax in a patient with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who recently underwent endobronchial valve placement.
