The delivery of an inhaled drug to the lungs can be measured by adding a γ-emitting
radiotracer to the formulation and using two-dimensional planar imaging or three …

Three-dimensional (3-D) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging of inhaled
radiolabeled aerosol in the nasal or pulmonary regions provides an in vivo measurement of …

This review will cover the principles of imaging the deposition of inhaled drugs and some of
the state-of-the art imaging techniques being used today. Aerosol deposition can be imaged …
