18
Q

why are ventilation images usually done first?

A

to check for image quality - positioning, artifacts

19
Q

views for Q scan

A

ANT/POST, RAO/LPO, LAO/RPO, LATs, SPECT

20
Q

difference with acquiring if using technegas vs. Xe gas or DTPA aerosols

A

technegas - statics and SPECT
Xe - dynamic views of inspiration, eq., expiration

21
Q

Xe133
inspiration image is done by…

A

having the pt take a deep breath and holding it for 10 secs

22
Q

Xe133
equilibrium images are done by…

A

having pt breathe into the machine and obtaining 3, 30 sec images

23
Q

Xe133
how are washout images acquired

A

turning off the Xe and having the patient breathe normally into the machine

24
Q

how long are patients supposed to breathe the aerosol for?

A

3-7 mins or 1500-2000 cps

25
Q

which phase of the technegas production actually produces the technegas?

A

burn phase

26
Q

when injecting the patient for the Q, patients can be sitting or supine. it’s up the patient. t/f

A

false
patients must be supine

27
Q

inject the patient for the q scan over _____ respiratory cycles

A

3-5

28
Q

what ensures a good injection?

A

3x the count rate of vent

29
Q

if a V/Q scan is needed for a pregnant pt, what should we do?

A
  • reduce the number of particles
  • do perfusion first, vent, if needed, can be done the next day
30
Q

advantage of vent imaging done with xenon

A

washout images allow for good sensitivity in detecting ventilation pathologies

31
Q

what is the flow rate of O2 administered through the nebulizer?

A

8-12LPM

32
Q

ab in same location on both V and Q

A

matched

33
Q

likely indicator for vent abnormalities

A

matched

34
Q

Q abnormality, normal vent

A

mismatched

35
Q

mismatched defects most likely indicate…

A

PE

36
Q

normal Q, abnormal vent

A

reverse mismatch

37
Q

modified PIOPED
HIGH (>85% PPV)

A

2 or more large mismatched segmental defects with normal CXR
large = >75% of segment

38
Q

what will happen if you pull blood back into the MAA syringe?

A

it’ll cause hot spots on the images

39
Q

quantum mottle

A

less than 60k particles injected

40
Q

indication for quantitative lung scan

A
  • eval relative lung perfusion preoperatively
41
Q

what are the best views for a quant lung scan?

A

ANT/POST

42
Q

normal % uptake for right lung? left lung?

A

right lung = 55%
left lung = 45%

43
Q

expiratory reserve volume of ____ is high risk for pulmonary insufficiency post op

A

<800 ml
