Non-contrast dual-energy CT iodine quantification for lung injury characterization after balloon pulmonary angioplasty
This exploratory study demonstrates the potential of NC-DECT in distinguishing between pulmonary hemorrhage and reperfusion pulmonary edema in lung injuries after BPA in patients with CTEPH. The ability to quantify iodine concentrations in lung lesions offers a novel imaging biomarker for pulmonary hemorrhage, which could play a pivotal role in improving clinical decision-making and management strategies for patients undergoing BPA.
