Objective To compare estimates of pulmonary endothelial barrier integrity obtained using
two different tracer proteins. Design Measure the pulmonary transcapillary escape rate with …

We compared regional measurements of the pulmonary transcapillary escape rate
(rPTCER) for 68Ga-transferrin, obtained by positron emission tomography (PET), with …

We measured extravascular density (EVD) and the pulmonary transcapillary escape rate
(PTCER) for 68Ga-transferrin using positron emission tomography in 14 normal volunteers …

We quantified pulmonary vascular permeability with positron emission tomography (PET)
and gallium-68-(^ Ga) labeled transferrin. Six dogs with oleic acid-induced lung injury …

PURPOSE: Using injection of gallium Ga 67 transferrin, technetium Tc 99m red cells, probes
over the lungs, and blood samples, a pulmonary leak index (PLI) and pulmonary …

The natural history of change in pulmonary vascular permeability (PVP) during the adult
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unknown. Therefore, we evaluated PVP by …

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic value of plasma protein levels for pulmonary vascular
permeability and acute respiratory distress syndrome. During acute lung injury and acute …

1. The aim of the study was to determine the role of increased microvascular protein
permeability, as measured by the 67gallium (Ga)-transferrin pulmonary leak index, in …

Conclusion Three isotopic methods of estimating alveolar-capillary membrane permeability
have been described. The first, radiolabelled HSA, is crude, and appears to have no clinical …
