A new method for investigating regional lung function in children with localized lung disease
Journal of Pediatric Surgery
|April 1, 1977
Summary
13Nitrogen lung function studies effectively assess localized lung disease in children. This simple, low-radiation method provides crucial data on disease severity and remaining lung function for surgical planning.
Area of Science:
- Pulmonary Medicine
- Medical Imaging
- Pediatric Pulmonology
Background:
- Assessing localized lung disease in children often requires non-invasive, accurate functional imaging.
- Traditional methods may involve significant radiation or require patient cooperation, which can be challenging in pediatric populations.
