1 Gamma camera scans showing posterior lung images of 4 adult patients with cystic fibrosis following inhalation of an aerosol containing the radioisotope technetium-99m. Gamma camera scans showing posterior lung images of 4 adult patients with cystic fibrosis following inhalation of an aerosol containing the radioisotope technetium-99m. Distribution of the aerosolized radioisotope varies significantly with the degree of airway obstruction, as measured by FEV1. A: FEV1 = 25% of predicted. B: FEV1 = 45% of predicted. C: FEV1 = 55% of predicted. D: FEV1 = 60% of predicted. From Reference 4. Beth L Laube Respir Care 2015;60: (c) 2012 by Daedalus Enterprises, Inc.
