Automatic Diagnosis of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Based on Volumetric Data from SPECT Ventilation and Perfusion Images

Automatic Diagnosis of Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension Based on Volumetric Data from SPECT Ventilation and Perfusion Images

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension (CTEPH) is confirmed by visual analysis of single-photon emission computer tomography (SPECT) ventilation and perfusion (V/Q) images. Defects in the perfusion image discordant with the ventilation image indicate obstructed segments and the positive diagn...
