Ventilation–perfusion heterogeneity measured by the multiple inert gas elimination technique is minimally affected by intermittent breathing of 100% O2
Abstract Proton magnetic resonance (MR) imaging to quantify regional ventilation–perfusion ( V˙A/Q˙) ratios combines specific ventilation imaging (SVI) and separate proton density and perfusion measures into a composite map. Specific ventilation imaging exploits the paramagnetic properties of O2, wh...
