Lung function imaging methods in Cystic Fibrosis pulmonary disease
Monitoring of pulmonary physiology is fundamental to the clinical management of patients with Cystic Fibrosis. The current standard clinical practise uses spirometry to assess lung function which delivers a clinically relevant functional readout of total lung function, however does not supply any visible or localised information. High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) is a well-established ...
متن کاملFunctional analysis in single-lung transplant recipients: a comparative study of high-resolution CT, 3He-MRI, and pulmonary function tests.
OBJECTIVE To develop and evaluate a postprocessing tool to quantify ventilated split-lung volumes on the basis of (3)He-MRI and to apply it in patients after single-lung transplantation (SLTX). High-resolution CT (HRCT) was employed as a reference modality providing split air-filled lung volumes. Lung volumes derived from pulmonary function test results served as clinical parameters and were us...
متن کاملFunctional lung imaging using hyperpolarized gas MRI.
The noninvasive assessment of lung function using imaging is increasingly of interest for the study of lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and asthma. Hyperpolarized gas MRI (HP MRI) has demonstrated the ability to detect changes in ventilation, perfusion, and lung microstructure that appear to be associated with both normal lung development and disease progres...
متن کاملXenon Surface Relaxivity: Potential Applications to Probing Lung Disease
Introduction Because hyperpolarized Xe gas NMR signals can result in four to five orders of magnitude polarization enhancement compared to thermal equilibrium signals even at high fields , hyperpolarized Xe gas MRI has shown great promise for lung imaging. Scientists have developed many techniques to assess lung properties, such as ADC (apparent diffusion coefficient) , XTC (Xenon polarization ...
متن کاملREPORT OF FOUR CASES OF FAMILIAL IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS
A 25 year old male and his 46 year old aunt presented with shortness of breath and a dramatic response to steroids. The other two patients are sisters with more advanced disease. One of these responded partially to steroids, while the other died within 4 months of treatment. The genetic basis and pathogenesis are discussed.
