Correlation of 68Ga Ventilation-Perfusion PET/CT with Pulmonary Function Test Indices for Assessing Lung Function.
UNLABELLED Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are routinely used to assess lung function, but they do not provide information about regional pulmonary dysfunction. We aimed to assess correlation of quantitative ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) PET/CT with PFT indices. METHODS Thirty patients underwent V/Q PET/CT and PFT. Respiration-gated images were acquired after inhalation of (68)Ga-carbon nanopar...
متن کاملEvaluation of Pulmonary Function Test in Patients with Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and its correlation with the symptoms of the disease
Introduction: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurogenic progressive disease that leads to muscle atrophy. The purpose of this study was to evaluate pulmonary function test (PFT) in patients with ALS and its correlation with ASL symptoms. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 32 ALS patients at Ghaem Hospital, Mashhad...
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 کاملThe accuracy of FEF25-75/ FVC for primary classification of the pulmonary function test
Introduction: The forced expiratory flow at 25 and 75% of the pulmonary volume/forced vital capacity ratio (FEF25-75/FVC) as a spirometry parameter has been successful in the early diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and the methacholine challenge test for assessing airway responsiveness.To determine the accuracy of FEF25-7...
متن کاملLong-term Follow-up Study of Pulmonary Function Test in Children with History of Hydrocarbon Aspiration
Background Aspiration of hydrocarbons causes several acute and chronic pulmonary complications; it may even lead to death. The aim of this study was to investigate the types of long-term pulmonary complications in children with a history of hydrocarbon aspiration. Materials and Methods In this case-control study, 21 children ...
