Pulmonary regional blood flow: validation of low-dose two-volume dynamic CT perfusion imaging in a swine model.
Article in European radiology experimental, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundWe aimed to validate a low-dose two-volume pulmonary computed tomography (CT) perfusion technique.
methodsFive Yorkshire swine (weight 53.6 ± 2.6 kg) underwent 21 independent CT perfusion acquisitions. Intravenous contrast material (370 mg/mL iodine, 0.5 mL/kg) and saline chaser (0.5 mL/kg) were injected at 5 mL/s for each acquisition. Two-volume and multivolume dynamic CT perfusion data were acquired using a 320-slice CT, with multivolume measurements serving as the reference standard. The two-volume CT perfusion involved a low-dose (50 mA) volume scan before contrast injection and a diagnostic (300 mA) volume scan after bolus-tracking in the main pulmonary artery at the peak contrast enhancement. Multivolume CT perfusion included 15-20 volume scans for blood flow measurement. Paired sample t-test, linear regression, and Bland-Altman analysis compared both global and regional two-volume perfusion measurements to the reference standard. The reproducibility of the two-volume CT perfusion was assessed from two independent measurements under the same perfusion condition.

conclusionWe successfully validated a prospective, two-volume CT perfusion technique in a swine model. The findings affirm the feasibility of accurate and reproducible pulmonary blood flow measurement. RELEVANCE STATEMENT: This two-volume CT pulmonary perfusion technique, validated in a swine model, demonstrates the feasibility of blood flow measurement with a substantial reduction in radiation exposure. It could allow low-dose regional blood flow measurement in the assessment of pulmonary artery disease in humans. KEY POINTS: Lung perfusion can be measured in mL/min/g using a prospective, two-volume CT technique. Flow measurement is achievable in a swine model with a radiation dose as low as 9.3 mGy. CT angiography and perfusion can be acquired following a single contrast injection.
