Multiple thoracic imaging modalities have been developed to link structure to function in the
diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. Volumetric computed tomography (CT) renders …

Over the past few decades, pulmonary imaging technologies have advanced from chest
radiography and nuclear medicine methods to high-spatial-resolution or low-dose chest CT …

The pulmonary (or respiratory) system is responsible for gas exchange between the external
environment and the circulating blood supply in the body. The respiratory system contains a …

Fundamentally important to the future of pulmonary medicine is a better description and
understanding of the human lung and its response to disease, injury, and treatment, which is …

We designed and generated pulmonary imaging biomarker pipelines to facilitate high-
throughput research and point-of-care use in patients with chronic lung disease. Image …

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a heterogeneous group of conditions, with a wide and
complex variety of imaging features. Difficulty in monitoring, treating and exploring novel …

Pulmonary functional imaging may be defined as the regional quantification of lung function
by using primarily CT, MRI, and nuclear medicine techniques. The distribution of pulmonary …

This is a particularly exciting era for thoracic imaging. Rapidly evolving technical advances
in CT and MR are enabling increasingly sophisticated capabilities for pulmonary functional …

Dynamic heterogeneity in lung ventilation is an important measure of pulmonary function
and may be characteristic of early pulmonary disease. While standard indices like …

Recent advances in imaging offer exciting opportunities to develop and validate lung-
specific biomarkers as valuable adjuncts to diagnosis, tests of treatment efficacy, and/or …
