[Significance of inhalation and perfusion scintigraphy for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (author's transl)]. 1976

H J Biersack, and M Thelen, and B Hünermann, and J P Hedde, and C Winkler

Inhalation and perfusion scintigrams, general radiological examination of the thorax and an EKG were done on 43 patients with clinically suspected pulmonary embolism. In 11 cases, the clinical diagnosis could be confirmed on the basis of the scintigraphic examination. In the remaining 32 patients, an embolich event could be excluded by pulmonary scintigram, radiological examination and later the clinical course. A synopsis of clinical observations, X-ray and scintigraphy, therefore, permitted a basically reliable diagnosis of pulmonary embolism; selective pulmonary angiography should be used only in exceptional cases.
