Abstract

Radiopharmaceutical localization within the lungs may be diffuse or focal. Diffuse uptake may be associated with LV dysfunction and severe multivessel CAD. Neoplastic and inflammatory lung conditions may demonstrate focal avidity for MPI radiopharmaceuticals; these findings should be correlated with other imaging, reported, and communicated to the referring physician. Hyperinflated lungs, as seen in emphysema, appear relatively “cold,” are associated with flattened diaphragms and increased anterior-posterior dimension, and are generally easy to recognize, especially when correlated with conventional radiography or CT.
