Ventilation–perfusion (V/Q) scintigraphy is established for regional assessment of lung
function in a variety of diseases, including pulmonary embolism (PE). PET/CT may further …

Regional ventilatory abnormalities in obstructive lung disease were evaluated by dynamic
single-photon emission tomography (SPET) of pulmonary washout of xenon-133 (133 Xe) …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is an interesting metabolic imaging modality. Its
strength relies mostly on its ability to quantify the measured metabolic signal. Recent …

We quantified pulmonary vascular permeability with positron emission tomography (PET)
and gallium-68-(^ Ga) labeled transferrin. Six dogs with oleic acid-induced lung injury …

Regional pulmonary perfusion (Q) has been investigated using blood volume (Fb) imaging
as an easier-to-measure surrogate. However, it is unclear if changing pulmonary conditions …

Abstract Three‐dimensional (3D) perfusion imaging allows the assessment of pulmonary
blood flow in parenchyma and main pulmonary arteries simultaneously. MRI using laser …

Recent PET imaging data from bronchoconstricted sheep (Vidal Melo et al., 2005) showed
that V˙/Q˙ distributions were bimodal and topographically patchy, but including a substantial …

Purpose Respiratory gating is an established approach to overcoming respiration-induced
image artefacts in PET. Of special interest in this respect are raw PET data-driven gating …

Objective Anatomic relation between pulmonary perfusion and morphology in pulmonary
emphysema was assessed on deep-inspiratory breath-hold (DIBrH) perfusion single-photon …

Pulmonary single photon emission computed tomography-computed tomography (SPECT–
CT) fusion images provide objective and comprehensive assessment of pulmonary function …
