Abstract: PURPOSE Limited diagnostic options exist for patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE) who cannot undergo CT-angiogram (CTA). CT-ventilation methods recover respiratory motion-induced lung volume changes as a surrogate for ventilation. We recently demonstrated that pulmonary… read more here.

Abstract: We previously reported that apparent lung mass varies across the phases of 4D computed tomography (4DCT) images. We hypothesize that these variations correspond to the physiologic changes in pulmonary perfusion induced during normal tidal breathing,… read more here.
