Pulmonary microvascular and alveolar epithelial permeability were evaluated in vivo by
scintigraphic imaging during lung distension. A zone of alveolar flooding was made by …

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 …

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

The reticuloendothelial system (RES) cells are in the defense against certain pathogens,
and in the removal of dying cells, cell debris, microorganisms, and malignant cells. Liver …

Although recent X-ray computed tomography (CT) data show that ventral-dorsal gradients in
density are common in the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), we hypothesized …

The topographic matching of alveolar ventilation (V̇ A) and perfusion (Q̇) is the main
determinant of gas exchange efficiency of the lung. However, no pulmonary functional …

We examined the effect of intravascular and tissue accumulation of tracer when measuring
pulmonary clearance of sodium pertechnetate-labeled diethylenetriamine pentaacetate …

We measured regional pulmonary blood flow (rPBF) and extravascular lung water (rEVLW)
with positron emission tomography (PET) before and after a lobar lung injury induced by …

Positron emission tomography (PET) provides three-dimensional images of the distributions
of radionuclides that have been inhaled or injected into the lungs. By using radionuclides …
