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

We compared regional measurements of the pulmonary transcapillary escape rate
(rPTCER) for 68Ga-transferrin, obtained by positron emission tomography (PET), with …

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 …

We measured extravascular density (EVD) and the pulmonary transcapillary escape rate
(PTCER) for 68Ga-transferrin using positron emission tomography in 14 normal volunteers …

We evaluated pulmonary vascular permeability in 15 patients after lung transplantation (21
allografts) by measuring the pulmonary transcapillary escape rate (PTCER) for Ga-68 …

Using techniques of mathematical simulation, we compared two methods of evaluating
pulmonary vascular permeability, ie, transvascular protein flux. Both methods calculate a …

Increased lung vascular permeability leading to increased plasma protein extravasation and
accumulation (PPA) is a characteristic feature of acute lung injury. Using a previously …

Labeling of plasma transferrin with gallium was investigated to determine whether the
gallium-transferrin complex could be effectively used as a macromolecular tracer in studies …

Onset of lung edema is usually associated with increase in the pulmonary transvascular flux
of water and proteins. Clinical measurement of these parameters may aid in early diagnosis …

Increased microvascular permeability resulting in increased plasma protein extravasation is
the hallmark of acute inflammatory oedema and hence radiolabelled proteins can be used to …
