Description
Summary:We examined 25 patients with Stage I—II COPD to study diagnostic capabilities of ventilation-perfusion pulmoscintigraphy in relation to the assessment of lung microcirculation and ventilation disorders. Scintigraphic studies were performed by means of the Omega 500 gamma camera (Technicare, USA— Germany). COPD is characterized with the bilateral increase in the apical-basal grade of perfusion and deceleration of the alveolar-capillary permeability. The detected changes of scintigraphic parameters can be used in COPD diagnostics.
