• The estimation of predicted postoperative (PPO) lung function is important in lung resection candidates. We utilized simple anatomical calculations and single-photon emission computed tomography combined with computed tomography (SPECT-CT) to calculate PPO in 24 consecutive patients with impaired pulmonary function who underwent lung resection. PPO values calculated by anatomical calculations and three-dimensional lobar SPECT-CT quantification both correlated well with the postoperative forced expiratory volume in 1 s, with r = 0.825, p < 0.001 and r = 0.796, p < 0.001, respectively. Both techniques fared well at predicting postoperative lung function, but our observations unexpectedly suggested that simple anatomical calculations might be equivalent to three-dimensional SPECT-CT lobar quantification.
