Purpose This work aims to investigate lung glucose metabolism using 2-deoxy-2-[18 F]
fluoro-d-glucose ([18 F] FDG) positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in acute lung …

This review focuses on methods to image acute lung inflammation with Positron Emission
Tomography (PET). Four approaches are discussed that differ for biologic function of the …

Background There is increasing interest in Positron Emission Tomography (PET) of 2-deoxy-
2-[18F] flouro-D-glucose (18F-FDG) to evaluate pulmonary inflammation during acute lung …

Rationale: Few noninvasive biomarkers for pulmonary inflammation are currently available
that can assess the lung-specific response to antiinflammatory treatments. Positron emission …

Objective: The common denominator in most forms of ventilator-induced lung injury is an
intense inflammatory response mediated by neutrophils. PET with [18 F] fluoro-2-deoxy-D …

Dynamic FDG‐PET imaging was used to study inflammation in lungs of mice following
administration of a virulent strain of Klebsiella (K.) pneumoniae. Net whole‐lung FDG influx …

PET with 18F-FDG allows for noninvasive assessment of regional lung metabolism reflective
of neutrophilic inflammation. This study aimed at determining during early acute lung injury …

Objective: Neutrophilic inflammation plays a key role in the pathogenesis of acute
respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and acute lung injury (ALI). Positron emission …

Lung cell metabolic and ion transport alterations in endotoxin shock have been studied to
elucidate mechanisms of endotoxin-induced pulmonary dysfunction. Glucose oxidation to …

Inhaled mineral dusts and fibres can cause chronic pulmonary inflammation, often leading to
permanent scarring with loss of function, but the mechanisms involved remain obscure …
