title: [Lung perfusion-ventilation scintigraphy in squamous cell carcinoma of the lung].
abstract: The effect of tumour size, as determined surgically, and tumour position, as determined by bronchoscopy, on ventilation and perfusion scintigraphy was examined in 53 patients with squamous cell carcinomas of the lung. The findings were compared with reduction in one-second-capacity. Central tumours were frequently associated with marked reduction in perfusion. In these patients there was a linear positive correlation between ventilation and one-second-capacity. The reduction in perfusion, and the need to measure this, became with more peripheral tumours. There was a correlation between ventilation and tumour size in patients with V/Q quotient of greater than 1.2. The results show that tumour size and position do not necessarily indicate operability. For planning surgery of central tumours, perfusion scintigraphy therefore occupies an important position.
