False-positive radionuclide arthroscintigraphy with a porous-coated total hip prosthesis.

abstract：PURPOSE:The authors' goal was to determine whether the prevalence of pulmonary embolism in patients with matching ventilation-perfusion (V-Q) defects and chest radiographic opacities differs depending on the degree of perfusion deficit (absent versus decreased). METHODS:The authors performed a retrospective analysis o...
