Respiratory muscle metabolic activity on PET / CT correlates with obstructive ventilatory defect severity and prognosis in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery
Abstract
Respiratory muscle activity is increased in patients with chronic respiratory disease. 18 F-FDG-PET/CT can assess respiratory muscle activity. We hypothesized that respiratory muscles metabolism was correlated to lung function impairment and was associated to prognosis in patients undergoing lung cancer surgery based on the research question whether respiratory muscle metabolism quantitatively correlates with the severity of lung function impairment in patients? Does respiratory muscle hypermetabolism have prognostic value?
