Is hybrid SPECT/CT necessary for pre-interventional 3D quantification of relative lobar lung function?

Is hybrid SPECT/CT necessary for pre-interventional 3D quantification of relative lobar lung function?

Abstract Background In pulmonary malignancies pre-interventional 3D estimation of relative lobar perfusion is established to predict post-interventional functional outcome particularly in patients with borderline lung function. Aim was to test whether quantification from SPECT-scanners (non-hybrid)...
