- Abstract
References 1 Das JP, Yeh R, Schöder H. Clinical utility of perfusion (Q)-single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/CT for diagnosing pulmonary embolus (PE) in COVID-19 patients with a moderate to high pre-test probability of PE. MAA-lung perfusion SPECT/TC confirmed the pulmonary embolism (elevated D-dimer and clinical symptoms), showing segmental baso-lateral perfusion defect of the right lower lobe, that was normally aerated at CT images (asterisk; panel a). Dear Sir, We read with great interest the manuscript of Das et al. about the role of perfusion SPECT/CT in the detection of pulmonary embolism (PE) in COVID-19 patients with moderate/high probability of PE [[1]].
