Ventilation-perfusion lung scans were performed with 81mKr inhalation and 99mTc-albumin injection in 33 children with cystic fibrosis. It was found that both ventilation and perfusion scans yielded more information than radiographs of the chest in assessing lung damage. Using a scoring system, it was demonstrated by statistical methods that in the worst affected patients the disease was worse in the upper zones of the lungs, which changes were not detectable on chest radiographs. Pseudomonas was present in the sputum of these patients.
对33名囊性纤维化患儿进行了通气-灌注肺扫描，采用吸入81mKr和注射99mTc-白蛋白的方法。结果发现，在评估肺损伤方面，通气扫描和灌注扫描都比胸部X光片提供了更多信息。使用评分系统，通过统计方法证明，在病情最严重的患者中，肺部上叶的病变更严重，而这些变化在胸部X光片上无法检测到。这些患者的痰液中存在铜绿假单胞菌。
