  • Title: Science to practice: what is new about detecting emphysema?
    Author: de Lange EE.
    Journal: Radiology; 2006 Jun; 239(3):619-20. PubMed ID: 16714451.
    Abstract:
    Through the use of diffusion-weighted 3He MR imaging, Fain et al in this issue of Radiology demonstrated the potential for detection of early emphysema in the lungs of healthy smokers. The technique possibly could become an important tool for understanding the pulmonary processes that occur with emphysema, for implementing treatment before clinical symptoms occur, and for monitoring the effect of treatment.
