Dynamic perfusion MRI versus perfusion scintigraphy: prediction of postoperative lung function in patients with lung cancer.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to determine the capability of dynamic perfusion MRI as an alternative to pulmonary perfusion scintigraphy for prediction of postoperative lung function in patients with lung cancer. SUBJECTS AND METHODS. Sixty patients with lung cancer (35 men, 25 women) underwent dynamic perfusion MRI, perfusion scintigraphy, and preoperative and postoperative pulmonary...
متن کاملPrediction of Postoperative Lung Function in Patients With Lung Cancer
We thank Drs Myrianthefs and Baltopoulos for the data reported in their letter. They used the results of our recently published study in CHEST 1 to evaluate the different economic outcomes of patients in the ICU with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) treated with IV colistin monotherapy or aerosolized plus IV (AS 1 IV) colistin therapy in a Greek hospital. They found that 7-day AS 1 IV coli...
متن کاملEffect of Zafirlukast on improving lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases
Background : There is little evidence about the role of Zafirlukast (a highly selective LTD4 antagonist) in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). The Zafirlukast can reduce the need for short-acting rescue β2 agonists, produce fewer exacerbations of asthma and increased quality of life as possible benefits treatment for asthma. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of Zafir...
متن کاملAccuracy and precision of perfusion lung scintigraphy versus Xe-radiospirometry for preoperative pulmonary functional assessment of patients with lung cancer
Purpose: This study sought to determine whether Xeradiospirometry (XRS) successfully selects patients able to undergo lung resection without postoperative respiratory complication and whether perfusion lung scintigraphy (PLS) is likely to provide a similar selection of patients for certain stages of the tumor. Methods: Two hundred and eightyfour patients with resectable lung cancer underwent pr...
متن کاملPreoperative Prediction of Lung Function in Pneumonectomy by Spirometry and Lung Perfusion Scintigraphy
INTRODUCTION Nowadays an increasing number of lung resections are being done because of the rising prevalence of lung cancer that occurs mainly in patients with limited lung function, what is caused by common etiologic factor - smoking cigarettes. Loss of lung tissue in such patients can worsen much the postoperative pulmonary function. So it is necessary to asses the postoperative pulmonary fu...
