Objective: The prediction of pulmonary functional reserve is mandatory in therapeutic
decision-making for patients with resectable lung cancer, especially those with underlying …

Objectives The study objectives were to assess the accuracy of volumetric computed
tomography to predict postoperative lung function in patients with lung cancer in relation to …

Background At present, the therapy for patients with lung cancer that achieves a high rate of
cure is surgical resection at an early stage of the disease. The aim of this study is to evaluate …

Purpose It is important to accurately predict the patient's postoperative pulmonary function.
The aim of this study was to compare the accuracy of predictions of the postoperative …

Background Although whole lung computed tomography (CT) is included in the routine
workup before lung cancer surgery, it is not utilized to assess the preoperative pulmonary …

PURPOSE: To evaluate the effectiveness of quantitative computed tomography (CT) for
predicting postoperative lung function in patients with lung cancer. MATERIALS AND …

Abstract Background and Objectives: We prospectively compared five techniques to
estimate predicted postoperative function (ppo F) after lung resection: recently proposed …

OBJECTIVE: We sought to evaluate the utility of integrated breath-hold single-photon
emission tomography and computed tomography imaging compared with that of simple …

OBJECTIVES In lung cancer preoperative evaluation, functional lung imaging is commonly
used to assess lobar function. Computed tomography ventilation (CT-V) imaging is an …

Objective: To verify the reliability of quantitative computed tomography (CT) to estimate the
postoperative lung function in patients with mild to severe chronic obstructive pulmonary …
