Comparative Study[A comparison of ventilation/perfusion single photon emission CT and CT pulmonary angiography for diagnosis of pulmonary embolism].
To assess the diagnostic accuracy of ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) single photon emission CT (SPECT) as compared to computed tomographic pulmonary angiography (CTPA) for pulmonary embolism (PE). ⋯ The results indicate that SPECT V/Q imaging is superior to V/Q planar scan and CTPA in the diagnosis of PE.

Comparative Study[A comparison of clinical features between patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis combined with emphysema and without emphysema].
To investigate the differences of clinical features, pulmonary function tests, chest imaging and prognosis between patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) combined with emphysema and without emphysema. ⋯ Smoking was an important risk factor for IPF combined with emphysema. The pulmonary function of IPF combined with emphysema is characterized by a mild abnormality in the lung volume but a significant decrease in the diffusing capacity. Combined emphysema has no influence on the survival time of patients with IPF.
