This review will cover the principles of imaging the deposition of inhaled drugs and some of
the state-of-the art imaging techniques being used today. Aerosol deposition can be imaged …

In vivo imaging technologies have a vital role to play in the pharmaceutical development
process. Gamma scintigraphy, comprising two-dimensional 'planar'imaging, is used widely …

Introduction: Both the total amount of drug deposited in the lungs (whole lung deposition)
and the amount deposited in different lung regions (regional lung deposition) are potentially …

The use of gamma camera imaging following the inhalation of a radiolabel has been widely
used by researchers to investigate the fate of inhaled aerosols. The application of two …

Whole lung and regional lung deposition of inhaled asthma drugs in the lungs can be
quantified using either two-dimensional or three-dimensional radionuclide imaging …

THE CURRENT ISSUE OF THE Journal of Aerosol Medicine contains articles devoted to
gamma camera imaging. The gamma camera has proved invaluable in the advancement of …

Introduction Drugs for the treatment of respiratory diseases are commonly administered by
oral inhalation. Yet surprisingly little is known about the pulmonary pharmacokinetics of …

Imaging techniques have been used extensively to study the delivery of inhaled
medications. Deposition scintigraphy involves the quantification of deposited aerosol dose …

Background: Gamma camera imaging is widely used to assess pulmonary aerosol
deposition. Conventional planar imaging provides limited information on its regional …

The delivery of an inhaled drug to the lungs can be measured by adding a γ-emitting
radiotracer to the formulation and using two-dimensional planar imaging or three …
