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 …

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 …

Positron camera and short-lived biological isotopes are used to obtain transverse sections of
lung volume, blood volume, and total lung water of dog lungs to assess the degree of …

Positron emission tomography (PET) enables the concentration of positron-emitting isotopes
to be measured quantitatively in vivo. It is also possible to measure the physical density of …

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

Millions of people are affected by respiratory diseases, leading to a significant health burden
globally. Because of the current insufficient knowledge of the underlying mechanisms that …

The noninvasive quantification of pulmonary edema could be of importance in patient
management. We have developed a portable Compton-scatter densitometer capable of …

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 measured with positron emission tomography (PET) the regional distribution of
extravascular lung water (EVLW) and hematocrit (HctL) in normal supine dogs. H2 (15) O …

These animals were used to evaluate the linearity and repro ducibilityofLWC
measurementsand their correlationwith gravi metric data. RepeatPET …
