Assessment of regional lung function with multivolume (1)H MR imaging in health and obstructive lung disease: comparison with (3)He MR imaging.
Francesca Pennati,James D. Quirk,Dmitriy A. Yablonskiy,Mario Castro,Andrea Aliverti,Jason C. Woods +5 more
TL;DR: Findings in this study demonstrate that multivolume (1)H MR imaging, without contrast material, can be used as a biomarker for regional ventilation, both in healthy volunteers and patients with obstructive lung disease.

Regional lung function and heterogeneity of specific gas volume in healthy and emphysematous subjects.
TL;DR: Heterogeneity observed in emphysema allows identification of areas of alveolar destruction and gas trapping and suggests that &Dgr;SVg maps provide useful information for evaluation and planning of emerging treatments that target trapped gas for removal.

Electrical Impedance Tomography: From the Traditional Design to the Novel Frontier of Wearables
Francesca Pennati,Alessandra Angelucci,L. Morelli,Susanna Bardini,Elena Barzanti,Federico Cavallini,Antonello Conelli,Gaia Di Federico,Chiara Paganelli,Andrea Aliverti +9 more
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors reviewed the physical principles, hardware design and major clinical applications of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) from the classical to a wearable setup, and proposed a wireless and wearable EIT system.
Lung response to prone positioning in mechanically-ventilated patients with COVID-19
Alessandro Protti,Alessandro Santini,Francesca Pennati,Chiara Chiurazzi,Michele Ferrari,G. Iapichino,Luca Carenzo,Francesca Dalla Corte,Ezio Lanza,Nicolò Martinetti,Andrea Aliverti,Maurizio Cecconi +11 more
TL;DR: In this paper , a preliminary physiological study was conducted to verify whether prone positioning causes analogue changes in lung aeration in COVID-19, and the results showed that prone positioning improved survival in moderate-to-severe acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) unrelated to the novel coronavirus disease.
Assessment of pulmonary structure-function relationships in young children and adolescents with cystic fibrosis by multivolume proton-MRI and CT.
Francesca Pennati,David J. Roach,John P. Clancy,Alan S. Brody,Robert J. Fleck,Andrea Aliverti,Jason C. Woods +6 more
TL;DR: There is a shortage of sensitive biomarkers able to regionally monitor disease progression and to assess early responses to therapy in patients with cystic fibrosis.
