Özet

The most common indication for radionuclide imaging of lungs is the evaluation of suspected pulmonary thromboembolism (PE). Scintigraphically PE classically produces ventilation/perfusion mismatch, that is perfusion defects in areas showing normal ventilation. Stripe sign refers to the visualization a stripe at normally per-fused lung interposed between a defect and adjacent pleural surfaces as originally described by Gottschalk.
