Recent advances in imaging analysis have enabled evaluation of ventilation and perfusion
in specific regions by chest computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging …

Pulmonary functional imaging may be defined as the regional quantification of lung function
by using primarily CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine techniques. The distribution of pulmonary …

For a long time, imaging of the chest was based on the use of either radiography,
demonstrating lung morphology, or scintigraphy, looking at lung function. However, as a …

Over the past few decades, pulmonary imaging technologies have advanced from chest
radiography and nuclear medicine methods to high-spatial-resolution or low-dose chest CT …

The morphological evaluation of the lung is important in the clinical evaluation of pulmonary
diseases. However, the disease process may primarily result in change in pulmonary …

Pulmonary functional imaging modalities such as computed tomography, magnetic
resonance imaging and nuclear imaging can quantitatively assess regional lung functional …

This is a particularly exciting era for thoracic imaging. Rapidly evolving technical advances
in CT and MR are enabling increasingly sophisticated capabilities for pulmonary functional …
