Background Dynamic single-slice CT (dCT) is increasingly used to examine the intra-tidal,
physiological variation in aeration and lung density in experimental lung injury. The ability of …

Background In acute lung injury, thoracic CT is used to gain information about lung aeration
and consolidation. This can be done either during breath-holding by spiral CT scanning of …

Objective The aims of this study were to investigate the ability of contrast-enhanced dual-
energy computed tomography (DECT) for assessing regional perfusion in a model of acute …

Purpose: This feasibility study in healthy animals should prove the concept that it is possible
to quantitatively assess the effects of different ventilatory settings on the lung parenchyma …

Study objective: To study the dynamics of lung compartments by dynamic CT (dCT) imaging
during uninterrupted pressure-controlled ventilation (PCV) and different positive end …

Background. Fast dynamic computed tomography (dCT) has been used to assess regional
dynamics of lung inflation and deflation processes. The aim of this study was to relate …

Although recruitment of atelectatic lung is a common aim in acute respiratory distress
syndrome (ARDS), the effects of a recruitment maneuver have not been assessed …

Background Quantitative lung computed tomography (CT) provides fundamental information
about lung aeration in critically ill patients. We tested a scanning protocol combining …

Purpose To compare measurements of regional pulmonary perfused blood volume (PBV)
and pulmonary blood flow (PBF) obtained with computed tomography (CT) in two pig …

Purpose Aim of the study was to investigate alveolar inspiration and expiration using
multiscan CT. Results of a visual assessment using a scoring system were compared with …
