Using X-ray velocimetry to measure lung function and assess the efficacy of a pseudomonas aeruginosa bacteriophage therapy for cystic fibrosis

Abstract Phase contrast x-ray imaging (PCXI) provides high-contrast images of weakly-attenuating structures like the lungs. PCXI, when paired with 4D X-ray Velocimetry (XV), can measure regional lung function and non-invasively assess the efficacy of emerging therapeutics. Bacteriophage therapy is a...
