Ventilation and perfusion scanning are well established diagnostic procedures used extensively for early detection of pulmonary embolism in adults. Lung scanning to demonstrate pulmonary emboli in children has been somewhat limited; however, it has been useful in assessing conditions such as unilateral hyperlucent lung, obstructive emphysema, bronchiectasis, and cystic fibrosis. This report describes a potential pitfall of xenon-133 ventilation scan interpetation: a left lower lobe ventilation washout retention artifact caused by swallowed /sup 133/Xe gas.
