This study was designed to evaluate the accuracy of detecting pulmonary embolism (PE) using the Technegas SPECT/CT combined with  68 Ga PET/CT in a rabbit model. One hour after artificial PE ( n  = 6) and sham ( n  = 6) models were created, Technegas SPECT/CT ventilation and  68 Ga-MAA PET/CT perfusion scan (V/Q scan) were performed. Ventilation imaging was performed first on all cases. Technegas SPECT/CT and  68 Ga-MAA PET/CT images were evaluated by a nuclear medicine physician who recorded the presence, number, and location of PE on a per-lobe basis. The sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of Technegas SPECT/CT and  68 Ga-MAA PET/CT for detecting PE were calculated using a histopathological evaluation as a reference standard. A total of 60 lung lobes were evaluated in 12 rabbits, and PE was detected in 20 lobes in V/Q scans and histopathological analysis. The overall sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy were 100%, 100%, and 100%, respectively, for both the Technegas SPECT/CT and  68 Ga-MAA PET/CT V/Q scans. Technegas/ 68 Ga-MAA V/Q scans have good sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy in the detection of PE in this animal model study.
