The use of imaging technologies has progressed beyond the depiction of anatomic
abnormalities to providing non-invasive regional structure and functional information in …

Asthma remains an important disease worldwide, causing high burden to patients and
healthcare systems and presenting a need for better management and ultimately prevention …

The Genetic Epidemiology of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPDGene) study,
which began in 2007, is an ongoing multicenter observational cohort study of more than …

Imaging of the lung is a mainstay of respiratory medicine. It provides local information about
morphology and function of the lung parenchyma that is unchallenged by other noninvasive …

Asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are chronic inflammatory
disorders of the respiratory tract that are characterized by airflow limitation. They are distinct …

In this study, we aim to quantify the differences in lung metrics measured in free‐breathing
and mechanically ventilated rodents using respiratory‐gated micro‐computed tomography …

Background Small airways disease (SAD) is a major cause of airflow obstruction in COPD
patients and has been identified as a precursor to emphysema. Although the amount of SAD …

In mice, along with the assessment of eosinophils, lung function measurements, most
commonly carried out by plethysmography, are essential to monitor the course of allergic …

Purpose In this feasibility study, a phase‐resolved functional lung imaging postprocessing
method for extraction of dynamic perfusion (Q) and ventilation (V) parameters using a …

Non-invasive micro-CT imaging techniques have been developed to investigate lung
structure in free-breathing rodents. In this study, we investigate the utility of retrospectively …
