Description
Summary:The general aspects of methodology and image processing used in some of the nuclear pneumology techniques developed by our group are briefly described in this presentation. Three main subjects are considered: 1 — Studies on pulmonary circulation, 2 — Studies on pulmonary ventilation and perfusion and 3 — Studies on alveolar-capillary barrier permeability. This is a multidisciplinary work that is the joint effort of three departments: Biophysics Service (Faculty of Medicine, University of Coimbra), Department of Electronics and Telecommunications (University of Aveiro) and Pneumology Center (University of Coimbra).
