Helium-3 MRI: Clinical applications of quantitative measurements of regional lung ventilation
For a variety of lung pathologies, it is crucial to assess lung function in order to quantify the severity of the disease, assess treatments, and predict clinical outcome. Obstructive lung diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma affect millions of people world-wide. The improvement of therapies for COPD such as lung volume reduction surgery and anti-inflammatory...
متن کاملLung ventilation strategies and regional lung inflammation
Protective mechanical ventilation is currently accepted as a key strategy for the management of acute lung injury (ALI) and its most severe form, acute respiratory distress syndrome. The study by de Prost and colleagues in the current issue of Critical Care provides new insights into the impact of ventilation strategies on pulmonary function, gas exchange, and regional cellular metabolic activi...
متن کامل3D Hyperpolarized (129)Xe MRI of mouse lung at low xenon concentration using a continuous flow-type hyperpolarizing system: feasibility for quantitative measurement of regional ventilation.
PURPOSE We investigated the feasibility of 3D hyperpolarized (HP) (129)Xe magnetic resonance (MR) imaging at an extremely low concentration of HP (129)Xe supplied from a continuous flow-type hyperpolarizing (CF-HP) system and established a standard procedure for measuring regional lung ventilation of small animals, such as the mouse, as a baseline for further studies. MATERIALS AND METHODS We...

متن کاملRegional lung blood flow and ventilation in upright humans studied with quantitative SPECT.
We used quantitative Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT) to study the effect of the upright posture on regional lung blood flow and ventilation. Nine (upright) plus seven (prone and supine) healthy volunteers were studied awake, breathing spontaneously. Regional blood flow and ventilation were marked in sitting upright, supine and prone postures using (113m)In-labeled macroaggreg...
