Fig. 6From: Generation of ventilation/perfusion ratio map in surgical patients by dual-energy CT after xenon inhalation and intravenous contrast mediaChanges in respiratory functions and blood gas parameters before and after resection in lobectomied patients with or without post-surgical complications. a In the lobectomied patients with versus without complications, the changes in respiratory function before and after resection had similar trends compared with the whole group. b This trend was also maintained regarding blood gas exchange parameters, except that DLCO/VA was significantly decreased in the patients with complications similar to the whole group. * p < 0.05 vs preoperative valuesBack to article page
