Abstract

To evaluate the clinical significance of lung ventilation scan using $^{99m}Tc-DTPA$ in patient with bronchiectasis, we compared the involovement area of bronchogram and lung ventilation scan according to lobar and segmental distribution. There were no correlation between impairment of pulmonary function test and the number of bronchiectatic lobe and segment(p>0.5). Lung ventilation scan showed 66.7% of sensivity, 100% of specificity, ana 91.7% of accuracy according to lobar distribution, and 51.9% of sensivity, 96.9% of specificity, and 88.9% of accuracy according to segmental distribution. These results suggest that lung ventilation scan can be used as diagnostic tool in patient with bronchiectasis in whom bronchogram is not tolerable.
