Measurement of Absolute Lung Density by Compton-Scatter Densitometry

The non-invasive determination of absolute lung density would be of great importance if it could be used in the evaluation of patients with pulmonary edema. To obtain this measurement, we have developed a a portable densitometer using CdTe room-temperature detectors, compact collimators made of tant...
