abstract = {Distribution of ventilation and pulmonary perfusion are the
major determinants of pulmonary gas exchange. To study and
compare strategies of mechanical ventilation in respiratory
research accurate and high-resolution methods are needed to
derive distribution of ventilation and perfusion with
minimal additional intervention or radiation allowing
repeated measurements. Dual-energy computed tomography
(DECT) is an imaging technique allowing for the derivation
of regional pulmonary perfused blood volume, as a surrogate
for pulmonary perfusion (PPDECT). Here accuracy of PPDECT is
evaluated in comparison to pulmonary blood flow measured
with fluorescence-labeled microspheres (PPFLM). Its
feasibility of repeated measurements is evaluated.Agreement
between PPFLM and PPDECT was assessed by regression as well
as Bland-Altman analysis in three anesthetized pigs using
DECT and fluorescence labelled microspheres, respectively.
Measurements were performed in two-lung and, after right
sided thoracotomy, at one-lung ventilation with inhaled
nitric oxide. PPFLM and PPDECT were assessed in three
different regions of interest (ROI): the right
(non-ventilated) and left (ventilated) upper and lower lung,
yielding a total of 45 paired measurements over four hours.
Persistent iodine accumulation was assessed by additional
DECT scans before each contrast administration.Regression
analysis revealed a good overall association (R2 = 0.81)
between PPFLM and PPDECT, with PPDECT substantially
overestimating PPFLM up to $30\%,$ with limits of agreement
of -18 and $18\%,$ Low PPFLM was underestimated, while high
PPFLM was overestimated by PPDECT, indicating a higher
sensitivity of the later. Changes of PPDECT and PPFLM had a
concordance of $69.4\%$ for all measurements. Agreement and
concordance were highest in ventilated and lowest in
non-ventilated ROIs. No persistent iodine enhancement was
detected in the lung parenchyma after repetitive
measurements per hour.Dual-energy CT based measurement of
pulmonary perfusion shows promising results indicating its
feasibility in translational research on strategies of
mechanical ventilation.},
