A 64-year-old man underwent a respiratory-gated four-dimensional pulmonary perfusion
positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT) for preoperative regional …

Purpose This work aims to investigate lung glucose metabolism using 2-deoxy-2-[18 F]
fluoro-d-glucose ([18 F] FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in acute lung …

11CPETstudies. Methods: A detectorsystemwasdeveloped that allowed continuous
sampling of expired air during PET. Healthy volunteers (n= 4) underwent PET with r1C] C02 …

Emission tomography provides three-dimensional, quantitative images of the distribution of
radiotracers used to mark physiological, metabolic, or pathological processes. Quantitative …

Purpose To investigate 68 Ga-ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) positron emission tomography
(PET)/computed tomography (CT) as a novel imaging modality for assessment of perfusion …

Purpose Although 15 OO 2 gas inhalation can provide a reliable and accurate myocardial
metabolic rate for oxygen by PET, the spillover from gas volume in the lung distorts the …

Rationale: Bronchoconstriction in asthma leads to heterogeneous ventilation and the
formation of large and contiguous ventilation defects in the lungs. However, the regional …

Continuous infusion of 15 O-labeled water allows a quantitative measurement of the total
water pool in the chest region by positron emission tomography (PET). By subsequent …

Rationale: Few noninvasive biomarkers for pulmonary inflammation are currently available
that can assess the lung-specific response to antiinflammatory treatments. Positron emission …

THE CURRENT ISSUE OF THE Journal of Aerosol Medicine contains articles devoted to
gamma camera imaging. The gamma camera has proved invaluable in the advancement of …
