Visible on chest CT scans, post-COVID-19 residual lung abnormalities, which affect up to 50% of patients who have had an infection requiring hospitalization, may be associated with persistent or ...
Experts representing multiple societies and institutions across 14 countries have published guidance for computed tomography ...
Bedside chest radiograph has been "one of the most used backup investigations" for adjusting ventilator settings in the NICU, ...
Lung volume reduction surgery, an effective treatment for selected patients with severe emphysema, may lead to better health status and lung function outcomes, specifically for patients who have upper ...
Total lung volume (TLV) at full inspiration is a parameter of significant interest in pulmonary physiology but requires computed tomography (CT) scanning of the full axial extent of the lung. There is ...
Background In lung cancer screening the ability to distinguish malignant from benign nodules is a key issue. This study evaluates the ability of positron emission tomography (PET) and volume doubling ...
We aimed to identify the effect of suction pressure and catheter size on change in lung volume during open and closed endotracheal suction.
This finding demonstrates that smaller lung volumes translate to lower exercise tolerance, underscoring the idea that pulmonary function affects exercise capacity in individuals with OSAS.
We used our computational model of the respiratory system which features non-linear variation of airway dimensions and airway-generation-based structure to show airflow velocities (cm/sec) during ...
Following a smooth start to the commissioning phase of ESA's BIOMASS Earth observation satellite, the BIOMASS team at DLR has produced the first radar images.
