DECT Ventilation Imaging

March 21, 2018 updated by: University Hospital, Strasbourg, France

Quantitative Ventilation Imaging With Dual Energy Computed Tomography

Demonstrate the feasibility of dual energy computed tomography using Krypton as a gaseous contrast media in order to study the in vivo ventilation.

Two different clinical situations will be tested :

  • Prediction of postoperative pulmonary function for oncologic patients
  • Detection of Bronchiolitis Obliterans in lung transplant recipients.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: oncologic patients

Prediction of postoperative pulmonary function.

Patients with an operable lung cancer: dual energy computed tomography with Krypton will be tested to estimate the postoperative FEV1

Experimental: lung transplant recipients

Detection of BOS

6 months+ lung transplant recipients will be tested using dual energy computed tomography with Krypton, with acquisition in the end-inspiratory and end-expiratory phase, in search of regional air trapping.
