 Protocol Name : LUNG(V_Q)

Purpose : To record a ventilation/perfusion study carried out using Xe_133 gas (to
measure ventilation) and Tc_99m micro-spheres to measure perfusion.
Prerequisites : The patient file must already have been selected.
Data files created : 3 ventilation files (2 static images and 1 dynamic sequence), plus 6
perfusion images.
Listing :

; 3 Xenon views (including a set of dynamic images)
; 4 to 6 or more Technetium views (all static).
