This article reviews the contribution made by nuclear imaging to the assessment, diagnosis
and monitoring of patients with respiratory disease. It focuses on several specific areas …

The role of the fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) technique positron emission tomography (PET) is
well established in the management of patients with lung cancer. Increasingly, it is becoming …

In recent years there have been major advances in chest imaging. These include significant
refinements in previously available techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and …

In the March issue of this respected journal, the role of lung scintigraphy and multidetector
computed tomography (MDCT) for the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism (PE) was …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is just beginning to emerge as a clinically useful tool in
the thorax. Imaging with FDG is used primarily to differentiate benign from malignant …

This article reviews the potential use of positron emission tomography (PET), alone and in
combination with computed tomography, for evaluating the severity of disease in cystic …

Positron emission tomography is a powerful quantitative molecular imaging technique that is
complementary to structural imaging techniques for purposes of disease detection and …

Positron emission tomography (PET) has been in existence and continuously developing
over the past 20 years. In the last few years steady advances in the technology used for PET …

The detailed investigation of regional differences in lung function at a local level began
when suitable gamma-ray emitting isotopes and focused external radiation detectors …

Pulmonary embolism (PE) is difficult to diagnose. The clinical signs and symptoms of the
disorder are nonspecific, and the results of laboratory tests are undependable. Accordingly …
