RESUMO
Regional lung function using xenon-133 was studied in 45 seated patients aged 11 to 78 years with untreated idiopathic scoliosis and angulation of curvature between 10 and 190°. Perfusion distribution was assessed by intravenous bolus injection of 133Xe and distribution of ventilation to volume ratios by washouts after inhalation and intravenous injection.
