Abstract The lungs are the principal organs of the respiratory system. They function as a gas exchange unit to facilitate uptake of oxygen and elimination of carbon dioxide from the blood as it traverses the pulmonary capillaries. The techniques of nuclear medicine provide a window through which the normal function of lung (physiology ...
