Current advances in pulmonary functional imaging
RESPIRATORY INVESTIGATION(2024)
摘要
Recent advances in imaging analysis have enabled evaluation of ventilation and perfusion in specific regions by chest computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), in addition to modalities including dynamic chest radiography, scintigraphy, positron emission tomography (PET), ultrasound, and electrical impedance tomography (EIT). In this review, an overview of current functional imaging techniques is provided for each modality. Advances in chest CT have allowed for the analysis of local volume changes and small airway disease in addition to emphysema, using the Jacobian determinant and parametric response mapping with inspiratory and expiratory images. Airway analysis can reveal characteristics of airway lesions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and bronchial asthma, and the contribution of dysanapsis to obstructive diseases. Chest CT is also employed to measure pulmonary blood vessels, interstitial lung abnormalities, and mediastinal and chest wall components including skeletal muscle and bone. Dynamic CT can visualize lung deformation in respective portions. Pulmonary MRI has been developed for the estimation of lung ventilation and perfusion, mainly using hyperpolarized 129Xe. Oxygen-enhanced and proton-based MRI, without a polarizer, has potential clinical applications. Dynamic chest radiography is gaining traction in Japan for ventilation and perfusion analysis. Single photon emission CT can be used to assess ventilation-perfusion (_V/_Q) mismatch in pulmonary vascular diseases and COPD. PET/CT _V/Q_ imaging has also been demonstrated using "Galligas". Both ultrasound and EIT can detect pulmonary edema caused by acute respiratory distress syndrome. Familiarity with these functional imaging techniques will enable clinicians to utilize these systems in clinical practice.(c) 2023 The Authors.
