Comparison of Predicted Postoperative Lung Function in Pneumonectomy Using Computed Tomography and Lung Perfusion Scans

Journal of Chest Surgery, 2021
Background: Predicting postoperative lung function after pneumonectomy is essential. We retrospectively compared postoperative lung function to predicted postoperative lung function based on computed tomography (CT) volumetry and perfusion scintigraphy

Desaturation-Distance Ratio During Submaximal and Maximal Exercise Tests and Its Association With Lung Function Parameters in Patients With Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Background: The desaturation–distance ratio (DDR), the ratio of the desaturation area to the distance walked, is a promising, reliable, and simple physiologic tool for functional evaluation in subjects with interstitial lung diseases ...

Changes in Cross-Sectional Area and Transverse Diameter of the Heart on Inspiratory and Expiratory Chest CT: Correlation with Changes in Lung Size and Influence on Cardiothoracic Ratio Measurement. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
The aim of this study was to investigate physiological changes in cardiac area and diameters between inspiratory and expiratory chest computed tomography (CT), and to assess their correlation with lung size change and influence on cardiothoracic ratio ...

Air Trapping and the Risk of COPD Exacerbation: Analysis From Prospective KOCOSS Cohort

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
Background and AimsAir trapping is a predictive index for a decline in lung function and mortality in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). However, the role of air trapping in COPD exacerbation has rarely been studied.

Measurement of the Pressure-volume Curve in Mouse Lungs [PDF]

Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2015
In recent decades the mouse has become the primary animal model of a variety of lung diseases. In models of emphysema or fibrosis, the essential phenotypic changes are best assessed by measurement of the changes in lung elasticity. To best understand specific mechanisms underlying such pathologies in mice, it is essential to make functional ...

Lung volume measurements [PDF]

European Respiratory Journal, 2008
To the Editor: I read with interest the impressive paper by Cazzola et al. 1 in a recent issue of the European Respiratory Journal . However, I felt somewhat uneasy reading the recommendations on lung volume measurements, i.e. closing circuit dilution …

An apparatus for the measurement of lung volume and compliance in mice [PDF]

Laboratory Animals, 1990
Pressure-volume (P-V) curves and total lung capacity (TLC) were measured in excised lung of mice using a water manometer and a closed system in which the humidity and temperature were controlled. In pathogen-free mice there are no significant differences in elastic properties of these lungs in relation to their age.

Automatic algorithm for quantifying lung involvement in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, infection with SARS-CoV-2, paracoccidioidomycosis and no lung disease patients

PLoS ONE, 2021
In this work, we aimed to develop an automatic algorithm for the quantification of total volume and lung impairments in four different diseases. The quantification was completely automatic based upon high resolution computed tomography exams.
