The current status of tests of regional lung function has been reviewed from the
physiological and clinical standpoint. Recent technical innovations include the use of single …

Measurement of lung gas volume and regional density by computed tomography in dogs …

With positron emission tomography, quantitative measurements of regional alveolar and
mixed venous concentrations of positron-emitting radioisotopes can be made within a …

Regional pulmonary blood flow (PBF), regional pulmonary extravascular water (PEW), and
regional pulmonary blood volume (PBV) were measured quantitatively with positron …

Purpose: This feasibility study in healthy animals should prove the concept that it is possible
to quantitatively assess the effects of different ventilatory settings on the lung parenchyma …

In this issue of Academic Radiology, Washko and colleagues (1) have newly focused on
voxel-based tissue volume (lung mass) rather than regional air content within a large cohort …

Lung tissue, blood, and air determine the physical density of the lung and hence the
attenuation measured on CT scans. These components are not homogeneously distributed …

In 6 controls (group A), 4 patients with moderate congestive heart failure (NYHA II, II-III:
group B) and 6 patients with severe heart failure (NYHA III, III-IV, IV: group C) regional lung …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Cardiac computed tomographic (CT) scans for the
assessment of coronary calcium scores include approximately 70% of the lung volume and …

Respiratory motion may reduce the sensitivity of 18F-FDG PET for the detection of small
pulmonary nodules close to the base of the lungs. This motion also interferes with attempts …
