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 …

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 …

Positron emission tomography (PET) provides three-dimensional images of the distributions
of radionuclides that have been inhaled or injected into the lungs. By using radionuclides …

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

kinetics corrections on PET imaging of pulmonary function. J. Appl. Physiol. 82 (4): 1154 …

Positron emission tomography using the ECAT II scanner to image and measure regional
lung function is outlined. The combined use of transmission and emission imaging provides …

[en] The early application of positron emission tomography in the lung was mainly
concerned with the investigation of the regional volume of the vascular and extravascular …

Regional pulmonary perfusion and ventilation can be assessed by imaging, with positron
emission tomography (PET), the pulmonary kinetics of [13N] nitrogen (13N2). Because of its …

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 …

To determine the spatial distributions of pulmonary perfusion, shunt, and ventilation, we
developed a compartmental model of regional 13N-labeled molecular nitrogen (13NN) …
