Abstract
RATIONALE Organ size matching is an important determinant of successful allocation and outcomes in lung transplantation. While computed tomography (CT) is the gold standard, it is rarely used in an organ-donor context, and chest X-ray (CXR) may offer a practical and accurate solution in estimating lung volumes for donor and recipient size matching. We compared CXR lung measurements to CT-measured lung volumes and traditional estimates of lung volume in the same subjects. METHODS Our retrospective study analyzed clinically obtained CXR and CT lung images of 250 subjects without evidence of lung disease (mean age 9.9 ± 7.8 years; 129 M/121F). From CT, each lung was semi-automatically segmented and total lung volumes were quantified. From anterior-posterior CXR view, each lung was manually segmented and areas were measured. Lung lengths from the apices to the mid-basal regions of each lung were measured from CXR. Quantified CT lung volumes were compared to the corresponding CXR lung lengths, CXR lung areas, height, weight, and predicted total lung capacity (pTLC). RESULTS There are strong and significant correlations between CT volumes and CXR lung areas in the right lung (R2 = .89, p < .0001), left lung (R2 = .87, p < .0001), and combined lungs (R2 = .89, p < .0001). Similar correlations were seen between CT volumes and CXR measured lung lengths in the right lung (R2 = .79, p < .0001) and left lung (R2 = .81, p < .0001). This correlation between anatomical lung volume (CT) and CXR was stronger than lung-volume correlation to height (R2 = .66, p < .0001), weight (R2 = .43, p < .0001), or pTLC (R2 = .66, p < .0001). CONCLUSION CXR measures correlate much more strongly with true lung volumes than height, weight, or pTLC. The ability to obtain efficient and more accurate lung volume via CXR has the potential to change our current listing practices of using height as a surrogate for lung size, with a case example provided.

Assessment of thoracic volume changes after the collapse of lateral rib fractures based on chest computed tomography data: computer simulation and a multiple variable linear regression analysis. J Cardiothorac Surg 2020; 15:167. [PMID: 32646474 PMCID: PMC7346514 DOI: 10.1186/s13019-020-01213-z] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/11/2020] [Accepted: 07/01/2020] [Indexed: 11/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Background Chest blunt trauma (CBT) and the resultant rib fractures often lead to thoracic collapse. The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of displacement of the rib fracture and thoracic collapse on the thoracic volume by using normal chest CT data. Methods In this retrospective study, seven consecutive normal participants were selected from our hospital between June and July 2018. Normal thoracic models were reconstructed, followed by simulation of lateral fractures through the 4th to 9th ribs under three collapse modes with 1–5 cm of collapse. The thoracic collapse models (n = 630) were reconstructed using 3Dmax 2014. We calculated the thoracic volume and reduction percentage for each thoracic collapse model. Linear regression-based comparisons of thoracic volume reductions were performed. Results In all three collapse modes, the degree of the collapse was linearly correlated with the mean thoracic volume reduction. The reduction percentage in the posterior collapse mode was higher than that in the anterior collapse mode (P < 0.001). The largest volume reductions in the anterior, posterior, and simultaneous collapse models were in the 6th rib fracture model (P < 0.001), 8th rib fracture model (P < 0.001), and 7th rib fracture model (P < 0.001), respectively. Conclusions The influences of rib fracture displacement and collapse on the thoracic volume in the 6th through 8th ribs are critical in lateral rib fractures. For patients with 6th to 8th rib fractures and posterior rib collapse, surgical intervention to restore thoracic volume may be more essential.

Correlation between the native lung volume change and postoperative pulmonary function after single lung transplantation for lymphangioleiomyomatosis: Evaluation of lung volume by three-dimensional computed tomography volumetry. PLoS One 2019; 14:e0210975. [PMID: 30742625 PMCID: PMC6370208 DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0210975] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/28/2018] [Accepted: 01/06/2019] [Indexed: 11/18/2022] Open
Abstract
PURPOSE Whereas native lung overinflation has been thought to happen in recipients of single lung transplantation for lymphangioleiomyomatosis because of its increased compliance, there is no study that has reported the details on the change of the native lung volume after single lung transplantation by three-dimensional computed tomography volumetry. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the lung volume after single lung transplantation for lymphangioleiomyomatosis by three-dimensional computed tomography volumetry and investigate the correlation between the native lung volume change and postoperative pulmonary function. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the data of 17 patients who underwent single lung transplantation for lymphangioleiomyomatosis. We defined the ratio of the native lung volume to total lung volume (N/T ratio) as an indicator of overinflation of the native lung. In order to assess changes in the N/T ratio over time, we calculated the rate of change in the N/T ratio which is standardized by the N/T ratio at 1 year after single lung transplantation: rate of change in N/T ratio (%) = {(N/T ratio at a certain year)/(N/T ratio at 1 year)- 1}× 100. RESULTS We investigated the correlations between the N/T ratio and the pulmonary function test parameters at 1 year and 5 years; however, there was no significant correlation between them. On the other hand, there was a significant negative correlation between the rate of change in the N/T ratio and that in forced expiratory volume in 1 second %predicted (%FEV1) at 5 years after single lung transplantation. CONCLUSION The single lung transplantation recipients for lymphangioleiomyomatosis showed increased rate of change in the N/T ratio in the long-time course after lung transplantation with the decrease of %FEV1. We expect that these cases will probably cause the overinflation of the native lung in the future.

Prediction of postoperative lung function after major lung resection for lung cancer using volumetric computed tomography. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2018; 156:2297-2308.e5. [PMID: 30195604 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2018.07.040] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2017] [Revised: 06/15/2018] [Accepted: 07/02/2018] [Indexed: 12/25/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES The study objectives were to assess the accuracy of volumetric computed tomography to predict postoperative lung function in patients with lung cancer in relation to anatomic segments counting and perfusion scintigraphy, to generate specific predictive equations for each functional parameter, and to evaluate accuracy and precision of these in a validation cohort. METHODS We assessed pulmonary functions preoperatively and 3 to 4 months postoperatively after lung resection for lung cancer (n = 114). Absolute and relative lung volumes (total and upper/middle/lower) were determined using volumetric software analysis for staging thoracic computed tomography scans. Predicted postoperative function was calculated by segments counting, scintigraphy, and volumetric computed tomography. RESULTS Volumetric computed tomography achieves a higher correlation and precision with measured postoperative lung function than segments counting or scintigraphy (correlation and intraclass correlation coefficients, 0.779-0.969 and 0.776-0.969; 0.573-0.887 and 0.552-0.882; and 0.578-0.834 and 0.532-0.815, respectively), as well as greater accuracy, determined by narrower agreement coefficients for forced vital capacity, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, lung diffusing capacity, and peak oxygen uptake. After validation in an independent cohort (n = 43), adjusted linear regression including volumetric estimation of decreased postoperative ventilation for postoperative lung function parameters explains 98% to 99% of variance. CONCLUSIONS Volumetric computed tomography is a reliable and accurate method to predict postoperative lung function in patients undergoing lung resection that provides better accuracy than conventional procedures. Because lung computed tomography is systematically performed in the staging of patients with suspected lung cancer, this volumetric analysis might simultaneously provide the information necessary to evaluate operability.

Abstract
Dosimetric models are essential tools to refine inhalation risk assessments based on local respiratory effects. Dosimetric adjustments to account for differences in aerosol particle size and respiratory tract deposition and/or clearance among rodents, workers, and the general public can be applied to experimentally- and epidemiologically-determined points of departure (PODs) to calculate size-selected (e.g., PM10, inhalable aerosol fraction, respirable aerosol fraction) equivalent concentrations (e.g., HEC or Human Equivalent Concentration; REC or Rodent Equivalent Concentration). A modified POD (e.g., HEC) can then feed into existing frameworks for the derivation of occupational or ambient air concentration limits or reference concentrations. HECs that are expressed in terms of aerosol particle sizes experienced by humans but are derived from animal studies allow proper comparison of exposure levels and associated health effects in animals and humans. This can inform differences in responsiveness between animals and humans, based on the same deposited or retained doses and can also allow the use of both data sources in an integrated weight of evidence approach for hazard and risk assessment purposes. Whenever possible, default values should be replaced by substance-specific and target population-specific parameters. Assumptions and sources of uncertainty need to be clearly reported.
