The Value of Real-Time Thoracic Radiology Consulting in an Integrated Lung Center Clinic: Bringing the Radiologist to the Center of Multidisciplinary Health Care.

abstract：:The effects of respiratory motion and imaging at low tidal volumes can easily obscure normal anatomy as well as pathology on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) images of the lungs in infants and young children. The benefits of motion-free HRCT in children at full inflation and end exhalation compared with HRCT...
