The overall agreement between the two techniques was excellent (r=0.82; mean absolute difference=2.8%), although when embolic involvement was extensive (greater than 50% angiographic obstruction), the perfusion scan moderately underestimated (4%) the defect seen angiographically. These findings suggest that the pulmonary lung scan is a reliable method of assessing the initial pulmonary vascular obstruction as well as of quantifying any changes induced by or associated with the treatment.
