At the 2004 International Workshop on Functional Pulmonary Imaging, papers were
presented with a dazzling array of new methods of imaging the lung with signals from X-ray …

The lung is a complex organ whose primary function is to supply the body with sufficient
oxygen to meet its metabolic needs and to remove the carbon dioxide formed as a byproduct …

Recent years have witnessed an explosion in imaging technology applicable to chest
medicine. These include CT and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) for the diagnosis …

In most diseases of the lung, both function and structure are spatially heterogeneous. As a
result, global measures of lung function obtained from measurements at the mouth may be …

This is a particularly exciting era for thoracic imaging. Rapidly evolving technical advances
in CT and MR are enabling increasingly sophisticated capabilities for pulmonary functional …

For a long time, imaging of the chest was based on the use of either radiography,
demonstrating lung morphology, or scintigraphy, looking at lung function. However, as a …

In recent years there have been major advances in chest imaging. These include significant
refinements in previously available techniques such as computed tomography (CT) and …

Imaging of molecular signatures of specific structures, functions, and pathological alterations
in the lung tissue represents an important and challenging goal. This summary outlines …

It is an exciting time for pulmonary medicine. Genetic and molecular techniques are
providing deeper insight into disease mechanisms. As a consequence, diseases are …
