This study highlights the enhanced specificity of V/Q SPECT CT compared to V/Q SPECT and Q SPECT CT alone. Including low-dose CT improves diagnostic accuracy by reducing false positives and providing detailed anatomical information. V/Q SPECT CT offers superior specificity in diagnosing PE compared with V/Q SPECT alone, supporting its use in clinical practice.
