Several groups of investigators are measuring transcapillary protein flux in the lung using
noninvasive methods. Results from these studies are reported using several different protein …

We measured pulmonary clearance of aerosolised 99m technetium-labelled
diethylenetriaminepentacetate (99mTc-DTPA) in thirty-four patients with acute respiratory …

The pathophysiological mechanism of pulmonary oedema following rapid re-expansion of a
collapsed lung is poorly understood. It has been suggested that the period of collapse or …

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 …

[en] The early application of positron emission tomography in the lung was mainly
concerned with the investigation of the regional volume of the vascular and extravascular …

Several acute and chronic conditions that alter the integrity of the pulmonary epithelium
increased the rate of absorption or clearance into the circulation of small solutes deposited …

From the first measurements of the distribution of pulmonary blood flow using radioactive
tracers by West and colleagues (J Clin Invest 40: 1–12, 1961) allowing gravitational …

A radioaerosol procedure using 99m Tc-DTPA (diethylene triamine penta acetate) was used
to evaluate the permeability of the pulmonary epithelium in smokers and nonsmokers. The …

We measured neutrophil glucose uptake with positron emission tomographic imaging and
[18F] fluorodeoxyglucose ([18F] FDG-PET) in anesthetized dogs after intravenous oleic acid …

TO THE EDITOR: We read with interest the article by Wallace et al.(1) describing PET
imaging of pulmonary fibrosis in a rabbit model. We were pleased to find that, in general …
