[Perfusion scintigraphy in the diagnosis of lung hypoplasia in children]
Abstract:
Perfusion scintigraphy was used as a method of screening in children with prolonged and persistent chronic nonspecific pulmonary diseases with an obscure x-ray picture of diagnosis of lung hypoplasia. Its scintigraphic sings (considerable reduction of the capillary flow by 50%; a unilateral lesion; a clear locality of a pathological zone on a scintigram, corresponding by its volume to a lobe or the whole lung; relative uniformity of residual perfusion in the affected lobe) were detected in 21 patients. The results of scintigraphy were also used as an objective indicator for bronchopulmonary investigations and angiopulmonography.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
