THE SIGNIFICANCE OF UNILATERAL ABSENCE OF PULMONARY ARTERY PERFUSION BY LUNG SCANNING

ROBERT I. WHITE JR. 1, A. EVERETTE JAMES JR. 2, and HENRY N. WAGNER JR.

1 Scholar in Radiological Research of the James Picker Foundation, NAS-NRC.; Department of Radiology, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, Minnesota.
2 Advanced Academic Fellow of the James Picker Foundation on Recommendation of the Committee on Radiology, NAS-NRC.

Analysis of one year’s experience with 607 perfusion lung scans revealed 13 cases (2 per cent) of unilateral absence of perfusion.

Bronchogenic carcinoma (3/16), congenital heart disease (2/18) and the hyperlucent lung syndrome (1/3) were the most common disease entities associated with unilateral absence of radioactivity on a percentage basis.

Correlation of the lung scan with the chest roentgenogram suggested the diagnosis in all instances.
