syngo DE Lung PBV
syngo DE Lung PBV (Perfused blood volume) enables a fast evaluation of lung perfusion defects without use of an additional non-contrast scan. It directly visualizes the local iodine concentration in the lung parenchyma, which is a measure of the local blood volume, thus enabling a display of the area of possibly affected tissue.
Fonctionnalités et avantages
Clinical Applications
Evaluation of obstructive or restrictive lung disease as well as assessment of perfusion deficit e.g. from pulmonary emboli.
Features
- Color codes the iodine distribution in the lung parenchyma, and thus visualizes perfusion defects caused by small emboli as areas with reduced color density
- Detecting and assessing the functional relevance of pulmonary embolism without additional dose, contrast application, or examination time
