Official Title: Non-apnea Saline-contrast EIT for Lung Perfusion Imaging in Spontaneously Breathing Patients: A Prospective Cross-over Study
Brief Summary:
Title: Validating the Accuracy of Lung Blood Flow Monitoring Without Breath-Holding Under Spontaneous Breathing SupportPurpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the accuracy of a new Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) technique that measures lung blood flow (perfusion) without requiring patients to hold their breath.We aim to determine if this "non-apnea" method provides results consistent with the current clinical gold standard (the "pause" method).Background: EIT is a non-invasive…
