1. Different approaches to perform CT lung perfusion 2. Emerging role of CT lung perfusion in assessing lung physiology and pathological changes 3. Physiological confounders in assessing CT lung perfusion 4. The critical influence that changes in lung density with breathing have on CT lung perfusion

1. Review different models used in CT lung perfusion 2. Present a synopsis of current literature outlining clinical utility of CT lung perfusion 3. Demonstrate the importance of lung parenchyma density in lung analyses using animal (swine) and human data with qualitative and quantitative evaluation displayed on perfusion maps as illustrated in the attached images
