In patients with the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), lung imaging is a
fundamental tool in the study of the morphological and mechanistic features of the lungs …

Millions of people are affected by respiratory diseases, leading to a significant health burden
globally. Because of the current insufficient knowledge of the underlying mechanisms that …

Objectives: Regional tidal lung strain may trigger local inflammation during mechanical
ventilation, particularly when additional inflammatory stimuli are present. However, it is …

Tracer kinetic modeling in dynamic PET has the potential to improve the diagnosis,
prognosis, and research of lung diseases. The advent of total-body PET systems with much …

Imaging of the lungs in patients with asthma has evolved dramatically over the last decade
with sophisticated techniques, such as computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this review is to describe the current experimental and clinical
data regarding the fundamentals and applications of 18F-FDG PET during acute lung injury …

Recently, there has been an increased interest in imaging different pulmonary disorders
using PET techniques. Previous work has shown, for static PET/CT, that air content in the …

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 …

Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) consists of acute hypoxemic respiratory failure
characterized by massive and heterogeneously distributed loss of lung aeration caused by …

Lung inflammatory diseases contribute significantly to the socioeconomic burden of disease.
Yet very few new, effective therapies for respiratory disease have been approved for use. A …
