متن کاملInhalation Lung Scanning Evaluation
The routine study of regional ventilation of the lungs has been hampered by the lack of safe, simple and accurate methods. Radioisotope techniques have made possible the development of such methods. Two varieties of radioactive scanning have been used: radiolabelled particulate material, and radioactive inert gases. We have performed scans using both inhaled technetium-99m albuminate particles ...
متن کاملScreening for lung cancer using low dose CT scanning.
BACKGROUND Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer related death in Ireland. The majority of lung cancers are inoperable at the time of diagnosis and consequently the overall 5 year survival is less than 10%. The objective of the ProActive Lung Cancer Detection (PALCAD) study was to evaluate whether low dose chest computed tomographic scanning (LDCCT) can detect early stage asymptomatic ...
متن کاملEstimation of Rat Lung Surface to Volume Ratio and Xenon Diffusing Capacity Using Hyperpolarized
Introduction: Hyperpolarized Xe is a novel gaseous contrast agent which also dissolves in the lung parenchyma and blood compartments, offering an interesting palette of potential biomarkers of pulmonary disease. Xe signals from the dissolved compartments have different chemical shifts and can be selectively saturated and allowed to recovery as a function of delay time as in the chemically selec...
متن کاملComparison of External Lung Monitoring With End-Tidal Air Detection Using the Xenon Inhalation Method
When the Xe inhalation method is employed for measuring regional cerebral blood flow, the arterial Xe concentration is usually approximated by the end-tidal air concentration. However, this approximation may be invalid in the presence of certain lung pathologies or when the breathing pattern is irregular. Jaggi and Obrist, using an intravenous injection of Xe, suggested that the counts detected...
