V/P scan with Technegas

Technegas is an ideal ventilation imaging agent used in the ventilation imaging part of the Ventilation/Perfusion S.P.E.C.T.  (V/P S.P.E.C.T.) lung scintigraphy scan. The benefits include:

1. cost-effective (compared to MRI and PET/CT)
2. non-invasive diagnostic test
3. quantitative measurements of functional lung imaging
4. safe and comfortable for patients
5. low dose radiation burden, [(1.3-2mSv) (maybe 1/40 of CT dosage in women's breast, 0.008 – 0.012 mSv to foetus, approx. 0.01 mSv to 0.02 mSv dosage to operating medical staff).
6. few contraindications so that the scan is suitable for most patients and both sexes
7. simple to perform with excellent imaging quality and accurate results which gives a definitive answer to clinicians, e.g. diagnosis of P.E./CTEPH, Left heart failure, pneumonia, bronchitis, COPD
8. provide information of regional lung function (at segmental to sub-segmental level) in both airflow and circulation far beyond spirometry measurements
9. provide physiological function of the lungs and its changes that help detecting early changes of the lungs with quantification and also monitoring treatment response and prognosis
10. Assess airflow limitation of the lungs and disease severity
11. Detect other comorbidities and guide appropriate treatment
