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

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 …

The detailed investigation of regional differences in lung function at a local level began
when suitable gamma-ray emitting isotopes and focused external radiation detectors …

We quantified pulmonary vascular permeability with positron emission tomography (PET)
and gallium-68-(^ Ga) labeled transferrin. Six dogs with oleic acid-induced lung injury …

Objectives: Prone positioning is frequently used during acute respiratory distress syndrome.
However, mechanisms by which it improves oxygenation are poorly understood, as well as …

In a porcine model of oleic acid-induced lung injury, the effects of inhaled nitric oxide (iNO)
and intravenous almitrine bismesylate (ivALM), which enhances the hypoxic pulmonary …

Although recent X-ray computed tomography (CT) data show that ventral-dorsal gradients in
density are common in the adult respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), we hypothesized …

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 …

[18 F] fluoro-2-deoxy-d-glucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) is a promising
imaging procedure for detecting primary and metastatic cancer in the lungs. We have …

Measurement of alveolar volume (Va) and regional ventilation (V̇a) is crucial to
understanding the pathophysiology of acute lung injury and ventilator-induced lung injury …
