Methods We included all patients with severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease who
were screened for EBV treatment and who underwent both HRCT and planar perfusion …

Introduction: In patients with severe emphysema, who are evaluated for bronchoscopic lung
volume reduction (BLVR) treatment, single photon-emission computed tomography …

Purpose: Radiotherapy (RT) that selectively avoids irradiating highly functional lung regions
may reduce pulmonary toxicity, which is substantial in lung cancer RT. Single‐energy …

Purpose To compare the quantitative and qualitative lung perfusion data acquired with dual
energy CT (DECT) to that acquired with a large field-of-view cadmium-zinc-telluride camera …

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 …

Background Lung perfusion using 99mTc-macroaggregated albumin single-photon
emission computed tomography (SPECT) and lung computed tomography (CT) is a useful …

Background Perfusion‐weighted noncontrast‐enhanced proton lung MRI during free
breathing is maturing as a novel technique for assessment of regional lung perfusion, but …

Background Pulmonary function test (PFT) is commonly used to help diagnose chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and other lung diseases. However, it cannot be used …

Assessment of regional pulmonary perfusion as well as nodule and tumor perfusions in
various pulmonary diseases are currently performed by means of nuclear medicine studies …
