This study examines (he accuracy of radionuclide methods currently used for assessing
regional pulmonary function in patients. Dogs were heparinized, exsanguinated, and their …

A new technique using quantitative transmission radiography affords a clinical assessment
of regional pulmonary function in man. This has been useful as an adjunct to perfusion lung …

PURPOSE: To compare the results of quantitative analysis of differential pulmonary artery
blood flow performed with phase-contrast cine magnetic resonance (MR) images with those …

A combination of lung scanning for evaluation of perfusion and gamma densigraphy for
evaluation of regional ventilation was applied in various clinical situations and found to be …

Radionuclide pulmonary studies are filling the diagnostic gap between morphologic lung
imaging—chest x-ray and computed tomography—and total pulmonary function tests, such …

Much of our present understanding of regional lung function derives from experiments using
radio active tracers. Today studies of regional pulmonary blood flow and regional ventilation …

Since 1960, the date of the pioneer work of West et al, radioisotopic studies of regional
pulmonary function have developed very rapidly. An important step in this field was …

METHODS Lungs were excised from anesthetized, heparinized dogs after exsanguination
through a femoral artery catheter. Cannulas were inserted into the left atrial cuff and into …

This paper summarizes data on pulmonary function evaluation of 30 normal subjects and 19
patients with pulmonary pathology. The pathological entities studied include pulmonary …
