In vivo imaging reveals increased eosinophil uptake in the lungs of obese asthmatic patients

Using radiolabeled eosinophils coupled with SPECT/CT the authors quantify eosinophilic inflammation in the lungs of patients with asthma and focal pulmonary eosinophilic inflammation, revealing important differences in eosinophil kinetics between obese and non-obese asthmatics.
