CT-functional images (CT-FI's) were created from Xe-dynamic CT data of 10 patients with chronic pulmonary emphysema and 6 volunteers with normal lung. In CT-FI's of normal lungs, the values of washin and washout parameter of outer zone were larger than those of inner zone. In CT-FI's of chronic pulmonary emphysema, the values of washin parameter of inner zone were larger than those of outer zone and the value of washout parameter of outer zone were larger than those of inner zone. CT-FI's proved to helpful in evaluating the axial distribution of ventilation dynamics in chronic pulmonary emphysema.

D011656 Pulmonary Emphysema Enlargement of air spaces distal to the TERMINAL BRONCHIOLES where gas-exchange normally takes place. This is usually due to destruction of the alveolar wall.

D012119 Respiration The act of breathing with the LUNGS, consisting of INHALATION, or the taking into the lungs of the ambient air, and of EXHALATION, or the expelling of the modified air which contains more CARBON DIOXIDE than the air taken in (Blakiston's Gould Medical Dictionary, 4th ed.). This does not include tissue respiration ( Breathing
D002908 Chronic Disease Diseases which have one or more of the following characteristics: they are permanent, leave residual disability, are caused by nonreversible pathological alteration, require special training of the patient for rehabilitation, or may be expected to require a long period of supervision, observation, or care (Dictionary of Health Services Management, 2d ed). For epidemiological studies chronic disease often includes HEART DISEASES; STROKE; CANCER; and diabetes (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 2).
