We have measured with positron emission tomography (PET) the regional distribution of
extravascular lung water (EVLW) and hematocrit (HctL) in normal supine dogs. H2 (15) O …

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 …

Using positron emission tomography (PET) and intravenously injected 13N2, we assessed
the topographical distribution of pulmonary perfusion (Q˙) and ventilation (V˙) in six healthy …

Positron emission tomography (PET) is emerging as a powerful tool that complements
conventional radiologic assessment (chest radiographs, CT scans, MR imaging) of thoracic …

Positron computed tomography allows for the in vivo measurement of the regional tissue
concentration of positron-emitting radionuclides such as 15O, 11C, 13N, and 18F. By using …

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 …

Estimations of whole-body cumulated radioactivity. Since CO is rapidly taken up by red
blood cells andFor bolus injection with an administered radioactivityremains firmly bound to …

This paper describes the recent advances in technical and analytical methods in pulmonary
ventilation SPECT studies, including a respiratory-gated image acquisition of Technetium …

This review focuses on positron emission tomography (PET)-imaging of receptors in the
sympathetic and the parasympathetic systems of heart and lung and highlights the human …
