Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess the usefulness of dual-energy perfusion
computed tomography (CT) for predicting postoperative lung function in patients undergoing …

Purpose The aim of our study was to retrospectively evaluate postoperative physiologic
changes in lung cancer patients using dual-energy CT (DECT), and develop modified …

OBJECTIVE. Prediction of postoperative lung function is important in preoperative
evaluation of patients with lung cancer. Perfusion scintigraphy is the current method to …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to determine the capability of dynamic perfusion
MRI as an alternative to pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy for prediction of postoperative …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare predictive capabilities for
postoperative lung function in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients of the state-of …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to prospectively compare the utility of dynamic
contrast-enhanced perfusion MRI in the prediction of postoperative lung function in patients …

Study objectives Scintigraphic prediction of the residual pulmonary function following a
lobectomy is not widely employed; its accuracy is poorly known. This study aims at …

Background While many studies have evaluated the change in lung volume before and after
lung resection and correlated this with pulmonary function test results, there is very little …

BACKGROUND: Quantitative Perfusion Scintigraphy (QPS) and Anatomic Segment Method
(ASM) are two techniques for estimating postoperative pulmonary function. QPS is gold …

PURPOSE: To directly compare the capabilities of perfusion scan, SPECT, co-registered
SPECT/CT, and quantitatively and qualitatively assessed MDCT (ie quantitative CT and …
