Vibration Response Imaging (VRI) in Patients That Are Candidates for Undergoing Pulmonary Operation Procedure

Paused

Conditions studied: Emphysema, Cancer

In brief

The primary objective of this study is to estimate the accuracy of the pre-operative VRI quantitative results versus the gold standard pre-operative perfusion scan. The secondary objective is to assess the correlation of the predicted post-operative lung function with the observed post-operative lung function (forced expiratory volume in 1 second \[FEV1\] and diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide \[DLCO\]) in patients who underwent surgical resection.
