Prone positioning of patients during anaesthesia is required to provide operative access for
a wide variety of surgical procedures. It is associated with predictable changes in physiology …

Introduction In this review, we compare the spectrum of currently availablemethods for
quantifying pulmonary edema in patients. Review Imaging and indicator dilution techniques …

Using a 32‐echo imaging pulse sequence, T2 relaxation decay curves were acquired from
five white‐and six gray‐matter brain structures outlined in 12 normal volunteers. The water …

Objective: To obtain T2* and proton density measurements of normal human lung
parenchyma in vivo using submillisecond echo time (TE) gradient echo (GRE) magnetic …

Purpose To evaluate lung water density at three different levels of lung inflation in normal
lungs using a fast gradient echo sequence developed for rapid imaging. Materials and …

Imaging of the pulmonary parenchyma represents a unique challenge for MRI. Limited
signal is caused by low proton density, susceptibility artifacts, and physiological motion …

Prone posture increases cardiac output and improves pulmonary gas exchange. We
hypothesized that, in the supine posture, greater compression of dependent lung limits …

Quantification of pulmonary edema and congestion is important to guide diagnosis and risk
stratification, and to objectively evaluate new therapies in heart failure. Herein, we review …

The aims of this paper are to summarize the current recommendations for the use of
computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the chest and to …

We used quantitative single photon emission computed tomography to estimate the
proportion of the observed redistribution of blood flow and ventilation that is due to lung …
