  1. Functional lung imaging in humans using Positron Emission Tomography

    Layfield, Dominick, 1971-Massachusetts Institute of Technology2003

    This thesis deals with a method of functional lung imaging using Positron Emission Tomography (PET). In this technique, a radioactive tracer, nitrogen-13, is dissolved in saline solution, and injected into a peripheral vein. By analysis of the tracer kinetics through the lung, measured using PET, a …

  3. Prediction of post-tuberculosis lung damage using CT lung imaging measures among adults in Malawi

    Gunsaru, Vester PoyambaDepartment of Public Health and Family Medicine2018

    … TB treatment can mark the beginning of chronic lung damage and other sequelae. There is a need for early identification of individuals at risk of post-tuberculosis lung damage (PTLD) to necessitate its appropriate management. This study evaluated the significance of radiological features from …

  4. Hyperpolarized Xenon-129 Magnetic Resonance Imaging of Functional Lung Microstructure

    Dregely, Isabel

    … 129Xe (HXe) is a non-invasive contrast agent for lung magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which upon inhalation follows the functional pathway of oxygen in the lung by dissolving into lung tissue structures and entering the blood stream. HXe MRI therefore provides unique opportunities for functional …

  6. Quantification of Pulmonary Ventilation using Hyperpolarized 3He Magnetic Resonance Imaging

    Mathew, LindsayThe University of Western Ontario2011

    Smoking-related lung diseases including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are projected to have claimed the lives of more than 30,000 Canadians in 2010. The poor prognosis and lack of new treatment options for lung diseases associated with smoking are largely due to the …

    Yan, Susu2014

    … such as cone-beam CT (CBCT) and kV/MV 2D imaging, is essential in many radiation therapy procedures, such as intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT) and stereotactic body radiation therapy (SBRT). These imaging techniques provide predominantly anatomical information for treatment planning …
