Acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is diagnosed either by ventilation/perfusion (V/P)
scintigraphy or pulmonary CT angiography (CTPA). In recent years both techniques have …

Ventilation-perfusion scintigraphy is a functional imaging biomarker that has the potential of
captivating the heterogeneity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It …

Introduction Airway obstruction and possible concomitant pulmonary diseases in COPD
cannot be identified conventionally with any single diagnostic tool. We aimed to diagnose …

The emerging use of immunotherapies in cancer treatment increases the risk of
immunotherapy-related cardiotoxicity. In contrast to conventional chemotherapy, these novel …

Purpose To demonstrate the initial feasibility of non-contrast quantitative pulmonary
perfusion imaging at 3 T using flow alternating inversion recovery (FAIR), and to evaluate …

Ventilation/perfusion tomography (V/P SPECT) is a recommended method for diagnosing
and follow-up of pulmonary embolism (PE). Moreover, it is possible to recognize other …

The mammalian lung is characterized by heterogeneity in both its structure and function, by
incorporating an asymmetric branching airway tree optimized for maintenance of efficient …

Purpose Functional-guided radiation therapy (RT) plans have the potential to limit damage
to normal tissue and reduce toxicity. Although functional imaging modalities have continued …

Diagnostic imaging plays an integral role in the diagnostic workup of suspected pulmonary
embolism, and several modalities have been employed over the years. In recent years, the …
