| Abstract | [Summary]Regional pulmonary function evaluation using 133xenon, a scintillation camera and computer has been presented. Thirty mCi of 133xenon in saline solution. The xenonis exhaled into a spirometer after which the patient rebreathes from this system for evaluation of ventilation. Computer programs are written to permit readout of ventilation and perfusion indices, ventilation ratios and isointensity plots of the distribution of xenon during the various phases of each study. Data relating to the study of three patients by this this technique are presented. |
