Abstract The Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS) consists of acute hypoxemic
respiratory failure characterized by massive and heterogeneously distributed loss of lung …

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 …

Two calculation methods to produce ventilation images from four-dimensional computed
tomography (4DCT) acquired without added contrast have been reported. We reported a …

Radiomics has become an area of interest for tumor characterization in 18F-
Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG …

Objectives: Regional tidal lung strain may trigger local inflammation during mechanical
ventilation, particularly when additional inflammatory stimuli are present. However, it is …

Background Fluorine-enhanced MRI is a relatively inexpensive and straightforward
technique that facilitates regional assessments of pulmonary ventilation. In this report, we …

Multiple thoracic imaging modalities have been developed to link structure to function in the
diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. Volumetric computed tomography (CT) renders …

Purpose: Lung function depends on lung expansion and contraction during the respiratory
cycle. Respiratory‐gated CT imaging and 3D image registration can be used to locally …

Importance Ventilator-induced lung injury may arise from heterogeneous lung
microanatomy, whereby some alveoli remain collapsed throughout the breath cycle while …

Parenchymal strain is a key determinant of lung injury produced by mechanical ventilation.
However, imaging estimates of volumetric tidal strain (ε= regional tidal volume/reference …
