Evaluation of a newly developed 2D parametric parenchymal blood flow technique with an automated vessel suppression algorithm in patients with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension undergoing balloon pulmonary angioplasty

To evaluate the feasibility of two-dimensional parametric parenchymal blood flow (2D-PPBF) to quantify perfusion changes in the lung parenchyma following balloon pulmonary angioplasty (BPA) for treatment of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension.
