Right pulmonary vein occlusion detected by ventilation-perfusion lung scanning. 1985

M F Hartshorne, and J M Bauman, and M A Cawthon, and M Huggins

Absence of perfusion of a right lung was initially misinterpreted as pulmonary embolic disease. Pulmonary angiography revised this diagnosis to obstruction of the right pulmonary vein.

D011877	Radionuclide Imaging	The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.
