Improved radioaerosol administration system for routine inhalation lung imaging
Radiology.
1979 Apr.
Abstract
An improved radioaerosol administration system has been developed to reduce the number of droplets larger than 2.0 micron in diameter which have caused abnormal hyperdeposition of inhaled aerosols in the large airways. The new system has achieved this goal by interposing a reservoir-setting bag in the aerosol delivery line between the nebulizer and the patient. The components are inexpensive, commercially available and easily assembled in any nuclear medicine service.
