V/Q study

Ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy for suspected pulmonary embolism, framed with PIOPED/EANM-style interpretation categories — a perfusion-first or ventilation-first facility journey with Maggoo, defect-pattern interpretation, and board-style questions.

Preparation

Facts follow the pathway selected under Image acquisition (Perfusion first vs Ventilation first). Values are typical teaching ranges (PIOPED/EANM-informed).

Image acquisition

Top-down facility view. Maggoo follows the perfusion-first pathway: check-in → Tc-99m MAA injection in the dose room → planar perfusion (6–8 views) or SPECT → optional ventilation → departure.
