Data obtained during positron emission tomographic (PET) imaging of the lung are
expressed in terms of lung volume, not lung weight. Therefore changes in PET data may …

Regional lung density (LD) and lung water (LW) measurements were made with positron
transmission and emission tomography (PET) in normal and edematous lung in supine dogs …

A technique has been developed to measure regional values of vascular and extravascular
lung density using positron emission and transmission tomography. Quantitative values of …

kinetics corrections on PET imaging of pulmonary function. J. Appl. Physiol. 82 (4): 1154 …

Positron emission tomography is a major technological advance in the characterisation of
structure-function relationships within and between regions in normal and abnormal lungs …

Positron emission tomography using the ECAT II scanner to image and measure regional
lung function is outlined. The combined use of transmission and emission imaging provides …

BACKGROUND: Positron emission tomography, performed with isotopes of very short half
life, can be used to relate local lung tissue density to local ventilation and to the ventilation …

To determine the spatial distributions of pulmonary perfusion, shunt, and ventilation, we
developed a compartmental model of regional 13N-labeled molecular nitrogen (13NN) …

The effect of respiratory motion on pulmonary activity determinations by positron emission
tomography (PET) was studied in dogs with experimentally created pulmonary emboli (PE) …

Regional lung density (DL) and regional fractional pulmonary blood volume (VB) were
measured quantitatively during tidal breathing in 30 healthy supine subjects (15 smokers …
