Endobronchial vs. esophageal ultrasound for diagnosing sarcoidosis: A randomized clinical trial;
A standard vs ProCore Needle comparison

1. Esophageal ultrasound guided (EUS-B) sampling of intrathoracic lymph nodes has a14% higher granuloma detection rate compared to endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS)guided nodal sampling in patients with suspected sarcoidosis stage I/II.2. 25G ProCore…

Sonographic assessment of diaphragm function during inspiratory loading.

We hypothesize that speckle tracking sonography of the diaphragm is a potential non-invasive method to evaluate diaphragm function. The objective is to evaluate whether speckle tracking sonography of the diaphragm gives a good representation of…

Imaging lung lymphocytic infiltration with radiolabelled Interleukin-2 in the follow-up of patients with lung transplantation; a marker of acute rejection

To evaluate the ability of the IL-2 scan tot detect the presence of acute rejection in the transplanted lungs and the correlate the uptake of IL-2 with the histopathological findings after transbronchial biopsy.

Visualization of regional lung ventilation using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)

Primary Objective: To study the options of the PulmoVista 500 system to visualize regional real-time lung ventilation in healthy volunteersResearch questions:- Can the PulmoVista 500 system provide sufficient information regarding regional lung…

Diaphragm electromyography to estimate breathing effort and fatigue : a physiological study

1). Develop a model in which the electrical activity of the diaphragm (EAdi) is used to predict the transdiaphragmatic pressure (Pdi) 2) Assess to which degree this model is accurate in estimation Pdi-derived parameters (such as work of breathing…
