Abstract:
Objective: To study the correlation between radionuclide pulmonary perfusion imaging (PPI) data and quantitative analyzed data of lung biopsy specimens in congenital heart defects with left to right shunt associate with severe pulmonary hypertension in young children. Methods: 52 data of PPI were collected from 43 young children with severe pulmonary hypertension caused by congenital heart defects. Lung biopsies were performed in 26 cases and the specimens were quantitative analyzed. The correlation between PPI and lung biopsy was studied. Results: The percentage of wall thickness (%MT) and percentage of wall area (%MS) were significantly increased in cases with right upper to lower count ratio (RULR)≥0.70 (P
