Quantification of Bronchial Circulation Perfusion in Rats [PDF]
, 2004 The bronchial circulation is thought to be the primary blood supply for pulmonary carcinomas. Thus, we have developed a method for imaging and quantifying changes in perfusion in the rat lung due to development of the bronchial circulation.
