Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a leading cause of death worldwide and greatly reduces the quality of life. Utilizing remote monitoring has been shown to improve quality of life and reduce exacerbations, but remains an ongoing area of...
BACKGROUND: Respiratory motion during radiotherapy (RT) may reduce the therapeutic effect and increase the dose received by organs at risk. This can be addressed by real-time tracking, where respiration motion prediction is currently required to comp...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Asynchronous breathing (AB) occurs when a mechanically ventilated patient's breathing does not align with the mechanical ventilator (MV). Asynchrony can negatively impact recovery and outcome, and/or hinder MV management. A ...
Physicians evaluate a patient's respiratory health during a physical examination by visual assessment of the work of breathing (WoB) to determine respiratory stability, and by detecting abnormal lung sounds via lung auscultation using a stethoscope t...
PURPOSE: External physiological monitoring is the primary approach to measure and remove effects of low-frequency respiratory variation from BOLD-fMRI signals. However, the acquisition of clean external respiratory data during fMRI is not always poss...
We aimed to evaluate the image quality and diagnostic performance of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) with lung ventilation single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) images acquired briefly using a convolutional neural network (CNN)...
The measurement of tidal volumes via respiratory-induced surface movements of the upper body has been an objective in medical diagnostics for decades, but a real breakthrough has not yet been achieved. The improvement of measurement technology throug...
Early and accurate diagnosis of lung diseases is crucial for effective treatment. While traditional methods have limitations, audio analysis offers a promising non-invasive approach. However, existing studies often rely solely on acoustic features, n...
Purpose To develop and evaluate a free-breathing, highly accelerated, multisection, single-beat cine sequence for cardiac MRI. Materials and Methods This prospective study, conducted from July 2022 to December 2023, included participants with various...
