title: [Lung perfusion scintigraphy in pediatric patients with congenital malformations].
abstract: Congenital malformations are an heterogeneous group of disorders that can lead changes in pulmonary perfusion and then can be evaluated with lung perfusion scintigraphy. We selected five patients in which the role of lung perfusion scintigraphy emerges as a reliable and non-invasive imaging technique. Lung perfusion scintigraphy is a useful tool in pediatric patients with congenital malformations allowing an accurate evaluation of the best therapeutic strategy and its results.
