[Contribution of pulmonary scintiscanning to the diagnosis of chronic obstructive bronchopneumopathy].
In a lot of 32 cases of chronic obstructive bronchopneumopathy, a correlation was established between the extent and location of the regional perfusion deficiencies (studied by scintigraphy) and overall functional disturbances Vmax MEVS X 100VC, residual volume, R, PaO2, PaCO2). In 85% of the cases regional perfusion disturbances were detected and grouped into six scintigraphic types. A good correlation was found between these disturbances and the MEVS X 100/VC index and modified partial pressure of the gases (O2, CO2) in the arterial blood. Unexpected was the absence of a mathematical correlation between perfusion disturbances and the residual volume and R, suggesting the great variety of the disturbances grouped under the general denomination of chronic obstructive bronchopneumopathy.
