Positron emission tomography using the ECAT II scanner to image and measure regional
lung function is outlined. The combined use of transmission and emission imaging provides …

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 …

Positron emission tomography is a major technological advance in the characterisation of
structure-function relationships within and between regions in normal and abnormal lungs …

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 …

[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 …

Continuing advances in imaging technology have resulted in an improved ability to evaluate
thoracic malignancies with PET. Published reports demonstrate that PET provides accurate …

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 …

In many ways, the lung is an ideal organ for study with positron emission tomography (PET).
First, structure-function relations are homogeneous over larger areas than in other organs …

Ff93 1/04 (CTI, Knoxville, TN) was used for 30 of the 46 patients. When it was out of service
or was occupied by other patients, ECAT II (EG & 0, Ortec, Oak Ridge, TN) was used for …

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