Inferring COPD Severity from Tidal Breathing [PDF]

arXiv, 2020
Objective: To develop an algorithm that can infer the severity level of a COPD patient's airflow limitation from tidal breathing data that is collected by a wearable device. Methods: Data was collected from 25 single visit adult volunteers with a confirmed or suspected diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).

A Data-Driven Approach to Pre-Operative Evaluation of Lung Cancer Patients [PDF]

arXiv, 2017
Lung cancer is the number one cause of cancer deaths. Many early stage lung cancer patients have resectable tumors; however, their cardiopulmonary function needs to be properly evaluated before they are deemed operative candidates. Consequently, a subset of such patients is asked to undergo standard pulmonary function tests, such as cardiopulmonary ...

Pulmonary function evaluation during and following Skylab space flights [PDF]

Previous experience during the Apollo postflight exercise testing indicated no major changes in pulmonary function. Although pulmonary function has been studied in detail following exposure to hypoxic and hyperoxic environments, few studies have dealt ...

Improving organ dose sparing in left‐sided breast cancer with yaw‐limited volumetric modulated arc therapy: A dosimetric comparison to conventional and intensity modulated radiation therapy approaches

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background To assess the dose‐sparing capabilities of a yaw‐limited volumetric modulated arc therapy (YL_VMAT) beam setup for adjacent organs at risk (OAR) in comparison with 3D‐conventional radiation therapy (3D‐CRT), intensity‐modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) and conventional VMAT for radiation therapy in left‐sided breast cancer patients.

Comprehensive clinical evaluation of novel 4DCT‐based lung function imaging methods

Journal of Applied Clinical Medical Physics, EarlyView.
Abstract Purpose Methods have been developed that apply image processing to 4DCTs to generate 4DCT‐ventilation/perfusion lung imaging. Traditional methods for 4DCT‐ventilation rely on Hounsfield‐Unit (HU) density‐change methods and suffer from poor numerical robustness while not providing 4DCT‐perfusion data.
