Does donor total lung capacity predict recipient total lung capacity after size-reduced lung transplantation?
Post-operative recipient TLC in size-reduced lung transplantation can be predicted by donor TLC rather than pre-operative recipient TLC.
GRASE-derived T2 maps are highly reproducible. However, female sex and aging with typical prevalence of hypertension and diabetes were accompanied by increased myocardial T2 values. Thus, sex and age must be considered as influence factors when using GRASE in a diagnostic manner.
