Positron emission tomography using the ECAT II scanner to image and measure regional lung function is outlined. The combined use of transmission and emission imaging provides quantitative information about regional lung structure (density, extravascular density, and vascular volume) and function (ventilation, perfusion, ventilation-perfusion ratios, glucose metabolic rate). Clinical applications in asthma, chronic obstructive lung disease, pulmonary vascular disease, interstitial lung disease, and squamous cell carcinoma are presented. Future prospects for PET are discussed.
概述了使用ECAT II扫描仪进行正电子发射断层扫描以成像和测量局部肺功能的方法。透射成像和发射成像的联合使用提供了有关局部肺结构（密度、血管外密度和血管容积）和功能（通气、灌注、通气灌注比、葡萄糖代谢率）的定量信息。介绍了在哮喘、慢性阻塞性肺疾病、肺血管疾病、间质性肺疾病和鳞状细胞癌中的临床应用。讨论了PET的未来前景。
