These animals were used to evaluate the linearity and repro ducibilityofLWC
measurementsand their correlationwith gravi metric data. RepeatPET …

Continuous infusion of 15 O-labeled water allows a quantitative measurement of the total
water pool in the chest region by positron emission tomography (PET). By subsequent …

We examined the effect of regional pulmonary blood flow (PBF) on lung water
measurements made with a blood-borne label (15O-water) and positron emission …

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 …

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 …

Regional measurements of extravascular lung water (rEVLW) were made with positron
emission tomography (PET) and 15O-labeled radionuclides. The label used to measure the …

1. A method for measuring the pulmonary water compartments in vivo in anaesthetized dogs
is described. 2. The technique depends upon the sequential intravenous injection of …

Pulmonary blood flow (PBF) is a critical determinant of oxygenation during acute lung injury
(ALI). PET/CT with 18F-FDG allows the assessment of both lung aeration and neutrophil …

Using the formulae of Fazio and coworkers, we calculated the extravascular lung water per
unit of blood volume (ELW/V) and per unit of blood flow (ELW/F) after intravenous injection …
