We introduce a novel sequential bolus method to measure ventilation inhomogeneity, distinguishing between intra- and inter-regional lung disease. This technique offers new clinical insights beyond traditional pulmonary function tests.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Physiology
  • Medical Imaging and Diagnostics

Context:

  • Ventilation inhomogeneity is a key factor in lung disease.
  • Traditional lung function tests have limitations in assessing inhomogeneity.
  • Assessing the regional distribution of ventilation is crucial for diagnosis.

Purpose:

  • To introduce and validate a new method for measuring sequential ventilation.
  • To analyze factors influencing ventilation inhomogeneity classification.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of the sequential bolus method in pulmonary disease.

Summary:

  • A novel method using simultaneous washouts of multiple tracer boluses was developed to measure sequential ventilation.
  • Four types of sequential curves were analyzed from residual volume (RV) and above RV.

  • The method was applied to 100 pulmonary disease patients, analyzing statistical data, lung function tests, X-ray, and clinical diagnosis.

    • Impact:

    • Provides clinical information for diseases undetectable by traditional lung function tests.
    • Enables determination of predominantly intra- or inter-regional inhomogeneity.
    • Enhances understanding of ventilation distribution in pulmonary disease patients.
