In this VOICE accredited symposium, leading nuclear medicine experts provide insights on V/Q scintigraphy in pulmonary embolism diagnosis, including how it can:
• Provide comparable accuracy to computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA)
• Reduce radiation overexposure, particularly for women
• Be used in a simple diagnostic algorithm to reduce overall radiation burden
• Be interpreted using a scheme comparable to CTPA
