The pulmonary circulation is a low-resistance, low-pressure, and high-compliance system
that allows the lungs to receive the entire cardiac output. Pulmonary arterial pressure is a …

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) remains a challenging condition to diagnose, classify and
treat. Current approaches to the assessment of PH include echocardiography …

Dynamic contrast-enhanced (DCE) imaging is a non-invasive technique used for the
evaluation of tissue vascularity features through imaging series acquisition after contrast …

Introduction Pulmonary embolism is a common cause of cardiopulmonary mortality and
morbidity worldwide. Survivors of acute pulmonary embolism may experience dyspnea …

Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease (CTEPD) with or without pulmonary
hypertension (PH) occurs when thromboemboli in pulmonary arteries fail to resolve …

Objective. Functional lung avoidance (FLA) radiotherapy treatment aims to spare lung
regions identified as functional from imaging. Perfusion contributes to lung function and can …

Purpose To pool and summarise published data of pulmonary blood flow (PBF), pulmonary
blood volume (PBV) and mean transit time (MTT) of the human lung, obtained with perfusion …

Purpose To evaluate the correlation between whole lung enhancement (WLE) and
pulmonary blood volume (PBV) obtained through dual energy computed tomography …

Abstract Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a promising approach for visualizing and
measuring perfusion in the lungs noninvasively, without the accumulated radiation dose …

Among five types of pulmonary hypertension, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary
hypertension (CTEPH) is the only curable form, but prompt and accurate diagnosis can be …
