Introduction: The process of drug disposition in the lung after pulmonary delivery is complex
involving absorptive and non-absorptive mechanisms. The lung has also been suggested to …

This article reviews the potential use of positron emission tomography (PET), alone and in
combination with computed tomography, for evaluating the severity of disease in cystic …

SUMMARY 1 There is an increasing demand in diagnostic radiology for extracting additional
morphological and functional quantitative parameters from three‐dimensional computed …

Pulmonary delivery mainly involves topical therapy of some pulmonary conditions but also
offers potential for systemic therapy using the lungs as a portal of entry to the body. The most …
