Abstract
These findings suggest fluid movement affecting Q-MDCT metrics between lobes and between lungs before eventual resolution, and preclude protocols involving the lavage of one lung and imaging of the other to avoid interactions. We demonstrate that Q-MDCT is sensitive to lavage fluid retention and redistribution, and endobronchial procedures should not precede Q-MDCT imaging by less than 24 hours.
