| Abstract: | ![]()
Pulmonary embolism was diagnosed by combined perfusion and ventilation scintigraphy in 30 patients. A control examination 6 months later revealed pulmonary embolism or infarction in 8, in spite of conventional treatment. Therefore, patients treated for pulmonary embolism should be reexamined 3 to 6 months after diagnosis. |
