Xenon ventilation CT using a dual-source dual-energy technique: dynamic ventilation abnormality in a child with bronchial atresia.
Xenon ventilation CT using a dual-source dual-energy technique is a promising functional imaging method for the lung. We report the typical ventilation abnormalities, collateral ventilation and air trapping in the affected lung segment demonstrated on xenon ventilation CT in a child with bronchial atresia.
