Using positron emission tomography (PET) and intravenously injected 13N2, we assessed
the topographical distribution of pulmonary perfusion (Q˙) and ventilation (V˙) in six healthy …

Positron emission tomography (PET) imaging is a noninvasive, quantitative method to
assess pulmonary perfusion and ventilation in vivo. The core of this article focuses on the …

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 …

The conservative nature of animal evolution makes animal models the ideal tool for learning
about human biology. The Handbook of Laboratory Animal Science, Second Edition: Animal …

We quantified pulmonary vascular permeability with positron emission tomography (PET)
