We have measured regional pulmonary blood flow (PBF) in normal dogs with positron
emission tomography (PET) and 15O-labeled water (H2 (15) O). The method is …

1310 Objectives: Accurate determination of pulmonary blood volume (VB) is important for
deriving stable and reproducible static and kinetic parameter estimates in the lung [1]. VB …

In many ways, the lung is an ideal organ for study with positron emission tomography (PET).
First, structure-function relations are homogeneous over larger areas than in other organs …

The topographic matching of alveolar ventilation (V̇ A) and perfusion (Q̇) is the main
determinant of gas exchange efficiency of the lung. However, no pulmonary functional …

Purpose It has recently been recognized that PET/CT may play a role in diffuse parenchymal
lung disease. However, interpretation can be confounded due to the variability in lung …

We have recently developed methodologies to assess the local distributions of alveolar
ventilation and pulmonary perfusion using positron emission tomography (PET) with 13 NN …

Positron emission tomography (PET) provides three-dimensional images of the distributions
of radionuclides that have been inhaled or injected into the lungs. By using radionuclides …

Our aim was to quantify the degree of pulmonary inflammation associated with centrilobular
emphysema using fluoro-18-2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose positron emission tomography …

The authors measured the regional pulmonary ventilation/perfusion ratio with intravenous
13 N in saline solution, using positron emission tomography, in eight normal healthy …

The adaptation to positron emission tomography of the steady-state technique for the
measurement of alveolar ventilation, based on the shortlived radionuclide neon-19 (T,= 17.4 …
