Spatial resolution analysis of computed tomographic images.

abstract：:Due to the small size of the bronchial arteries, the bronchial circulation is difficult to study and remains poorly understood. We have utilized single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) as a noninvasive means of studying the bronchial circulation. Imaging studies were performed in sheep before and after the ...
