The aim of this study was to determine whether preradiation (pre-RT) single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) lung perfusion scans can be used to predict RT-induced changes in pulmonary function tests (PFTs). ## METHODS. Ninety-four patients irradiated for thoracic tumors had pre-RT SPEC
## Abstract ## Purpose To evaluate the effect of ventilatory impairment on MR signal intensity of the lung parenchyma. ## Materials and Methods Subjects were five normal volunteers (age = 30 ยฑ 7.9 years, mean ยฑ SD) and 19 male patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) (mean age = 70.
