A capnodynamic calculation of effective pulmonary blood flow includes a lung volume factor (ELV) that has to be estimated to solve the mathematical equation. In previous studies ELV correlated to reference methods for functional residual capacity (FR...
BACKGROUND: Twenty-five to 40% of patients pass a spontaneous breathing trial (SBT) but fail to wean from mechanical ventilation. There is no single appropriate and convenient predictor or method that can help clinicians to accurately predict weaning...

The classification of abnormalities in ultrasound images is the monitoring tool of fluid to air passage in the lung. In this study, the adaptive median filtering technique is employed for the preprocessing step. The preprocessed image is then extract...

The aim of this study was to verify the measurement concordance of cardiac index (CI), extra-vascular lung water index (EVLWI) and global end diastolic volume index (GEDVI) with transpulmonary thermodilution (TPTD) between the jugular and femoral acc...
BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis is a progressive fibrotic lung disease that distorts pulmonary architecture, leading to hypoxia, respiratory failure, and death. Diagnosis is difficult because other interstitial lung diseases have similar ra...
In this paper, we propose a new Locality-constrained Subcluster Representation Ensemble (LSRE) model, to classify high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images of interstitial lung diseases (ILDs). Medical images normally exhibit large intra-clas...
BACKGROUND: The use of the steep Trendelenburg position and abdominal CO2-insufflation during surgery can lead to significant reduction in pulmonary compliance and upper airway oedema. The postoperative time course of these effects and their influenc...
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the variability of fully automated airway quantitative CT (QCT) measures caused by different kernels and the effect of kernel conversion.

The low proton density and high signal decay rate of pulmonary tissue have previously hampered the application of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the clinical evaluation of lung disorders. With the continuing technical advances in scanners, coils...
BACKGROUND: Predicting shorter life expectancy is crucial for prioritising antifibrotic therapy in fibrotic lung diseases (FLDs), where progression varies widely, from stability to rapid deterioration. This heterogeneity complicates treatment decisio...
