Abstract: Purpose This study was to quantify the correlation of the infrared reflecting marker movement and deep inspiration breath-hold (DIBH) lung expansions by setting the infrared reflecting marker below the xiphoid process on the abdominal wall.… read more here.

Abstract: Objectives Recurrent symptomatic effusions can be durably managed with pleurodesis or placement of indwelling pleural catheters. Recent pleurodesis trials have largely relied on lung re-expansion on post-thoracentesis radiograph as an inclusion criterion rather than pleural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1152/japplphysiol.00105.2020
Abstract: Smoking-induced ventilation heterogeneity measured at the mouth via established washout indices (lung clearance index LCI and alveolar mixing efficiency AME) potentially results from unequal expansion, which can be quantified by CT, and structural changes down… read more here.
