Dynamic heterogeneity in lung ventilation is an important measure of pulmonary function
and may be characteristic of early pulmonary disease. While standard indices like …

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

Computed tomography (CT) and spirometry are the mainstays of clinical pulmonary
assessment. Spirometry is effort dependent and only provides a single global measure that …

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 …

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 …

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 current standard for lung function evaluation in murine models is based on forced
oscillation technology, which provides a measure of the total airway function but cannot …

This review provides a summary of pulmonary functional imaging approaches for
determining pulmonary ventilation, with a specific focus on multi-detector x-ray computed …

Multiple thoracic imaging modalities have been developed to link structure to function in the
diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. Volumetric computed tomography (CT) renders …

The use of traditional pulmonary function tests (PFT) to assess airflow obstruction is limited
by the fact that these measurements are global and can neither express the potential …
