Swyer James Mcload syndrome imaging by means of SPECT-CT

Abstract

Ventilation and perfusion imaging is the documented modality in Swyer James Mcload syndrome (SJMS) and we present a case with additonal SPECT-CT images firstly in the literature as far as we know.

Keywords

• Swyer James Mcload syndrome
• perfusion scintigraphy
• SPECT-CT.
