Asthma and emphysema are chronic respiratory diseases,
which are commonly treated by inhalation of nebulized
drugs. Aerosol deposition patterns are difficult to
predict as they highly depend on airway geometry,
breathing parameters, aerosol and gas properties. In
vitro and in vivo studies have been performed to better
understand deposition mechanisms and to improve inhaled
drug delivery. Here, 3D UTE-MRI combined with
spontaneous nose-only inhalation of aerosolized Gd-DOTA
was implemented at 1.5T to map the distribution of
aerosol deposition and to characterize the aerosol lung
clearance in asthmatic and emphysematous rats. This
functional lung imaging may be transferred to the
clinic.
