• To diagnose pulmonary embolism
• Two scans: Lung perfusion scan and lung ventilation scan
• Mismatched defects: Defect on perfusion scan and essentially normal ventilation scan
• Ventilation: 133-Xe: 10 mCi
• Perfusion: 99m-Tc MAA: 4 mCi
• CXR within 24 hours

Visualization of normal lung due to capillary blockade by radiolabeled small particles: Tc-99m MAA ( macroaggregated albumin)
Embolic lung would not light up since the radiotracer cannot get there!
![Page 8: NUCLEAR MEDICINE EMERGENCY STUDIES: VQ, GI BLEED, HIDA](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012505/6180e714fb02004b8973a732/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Capillary size: 7-10 μm ; MAA size: 10-30 μm ; <1 in 1000 of the capillaries are blocked, although 95% of the injected MAA remains in the lungs
Minimum number of particles needed in adults for PE evaluation: 100 K; Optimal: 200K – 600 K; Standard: 500 K; Pregnancy, severe pulmonary hypertension, s/p pneumonectomy: 250K
R-to-L shunt evaluation: 100K

Perfusion-only study (no ventilation) if
Patient cannot cooperate with ventilation
▪ Intubated, dyspnea, anxious
▪ Increase 99m-Tc MAA dose if needed to shorten the scanning time: ▪ 8-10 mCi
Pregnant patient
▪ Half of the standard 99mTc-MAA dose: 2 mCi

Segmental left lower lobe pulmonary artery PE: Underestimation of the extent of the PE on CTA
Case #2
![Page 14: NUCLEAR MEDICINE EMERGENCY STUDIES: VQ, GI BLEED, HIDA](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012505/6180e714fb02004b8973a732/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
VQ vs CTA Dose of the maternal breasts definitely much higher with CTA Dose to the fetus is probably higher with CTA VQ Protocol in pregnant patient:
Perfusion-only scan
Reducing the MAA dose to half (need to double the acquisition time)
![Page 15: NUCLEAR MEDICINE EMERGENCY STUDIES: VQ, GI BLEED, HIDA](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012505/6180e714fb02004b8973a732/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
CXR within 24 hours?
Generally yes
▪ Sometimes helps explaining patient’s symptoms (no VQ needed)
▪ Sometimes helps with interpretation of VQ scan
But not an absolute necessity
▪ Don’t refuse to do the VQ scan if no CXR
▪ CXR can still be obtained right after VQ if needed

GI Bleeding Scan
• To demonstrate and/or localize activebleeding into the gastrointestinal lumen
• Essentially a test for lower GI bleeds• May or may not be preceded by
colonoscopy• Often followed by Interventional Radiology
Procedure
![Page 43: NUCLEAR MEDICINE EMERGENCY STUDIES: VQ, GI BLEED, HIDA](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022012505/6180e714fb02004b8973a732/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
GI Bleeding Scan
• Labeling of patients own RBCs with 20 - 25 mCi 99mTc and reinjection
• Very sensitive: Bleeding of 0.1 mL/min (conventional angiography: 1.0 mL/min)
• Standard protocol: Anterior abdominal and pelvic dynamic acquisition (cine) for 90-120 minutes– Lateral image: Differentiating rectal bleed from penile perfusion– Delayed images out to 24 h without reinjection for intermittent bleeding

• Focus that:
– Moves and/or
– Intensifies over the course of the scan
• Atypical patterns not uncommon
