Lung growth and computed tomography.
Studies on normal lung development have shown that all airways are present by halfway through gestation, and approximately one-third to one-half of the adult number of alveoli develop during the last trimester of pregnancy [1, 2]. Modern treatment of premature babies born with immature lungs has led to the survival of a large cohort of infants and children who may have an abnormal lung or one t...
متن کاملLung computed tomography density distribution in a porcine model of one-lung ventilation.
BACKGROUND One-lung ventilation (OLV) exposes the dependent lung to increased mechanical stress which may affect the postoperative course. This study evaluates regional pulmonary gas/tissue distribution in a porcine model of OLV. METHODS Nine anaesthetized and mechanically ventilated (V(T)=10 ml kg(-1), FI(O(2))=0.40, PEEP=5 cm H(2)O) pigs were studied. After lung separation by an endobronchi...
متن کاملLung Lesions Biopsy in Children by Computed Tomography (CT) Fluoroscopy Guided Versus Conventional CT Scan Guided
Abstract Background Computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy of the lung is a well-established method of diagnosis. The aim of this study was to determine the success rate of fluoroscopic CT (FCT) and conventional CT (CCT) in needle navigation biopsies from the lung lesions. Materials and Methods A total of 78 patients were prospectively enrolled to receive CT-guided biopsy with (group I, n=2...
متن کاملComputed tomography in staging for lung cancer.
Computed tomography (CT) provides the most detailed imaging information, hence it is generally used as a routine imaging procedure in the tumour, node, metastasis (TNM)-staging of patients with lung cancer. However, despite the continuously ongoing process of improvement in CT scanning in which today's CT scanners combine fast acquisition, fast data reconstruction and high detail, the technique...
متن کاملComputed tomography screening and lung cancer outcomes.
CONTEXT Current and former smokers are currently being screened for lung cancer with computed tomography (CT), although there are limited data on the effect screening has on lung cancer outcomes. Randomized controlled trials assessing CT screening are currently under way. OBJECTIVE To assess whether screening may increase the frequency of lung cancer diagnosis and lung cancer resection or may...
