Description

Xenon is a colorless, odorless, and tasteless noble gas. It is found in trace amounts in the Earth's atmosphere. Xenon is not known to occur naturally in any compounds. However, it can be made to react with other elements under special conditions, such as high pressure and temperature, or in the presence of a catalyst. Xenon is used in a variety of applications, including lighting, lasers, and medical imaging. For example, xenon gas is used in flash lamps for photography, and it is also used in lasers for medical applications. Xenon is also used in nuclear reactors as a coolant. Xenon is studied because it is an interesting and unusual element. It is the only noble gas that can form stable chemical compounds. The study of xenon compounds has led to a better understanding of chemical bonding and the properties of noble gases. Xenon is also used in research on the origin and evolution of the universe.'

Xenon: A noble gas with the atomic symbol Xe, atomic number 54, and atomic weight 131.30. It is found in the earth's atmosphere and has been used as an anesthetic. [Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), National Library of Medicine, extracted Dec-2023]

Cerebral Fractional Anisotropy Measured by Diffusion Weighted Magnetic Resonance Imaging

"Fractional anisotropy (FA) is a measure of tissue integrity in white matter tracts measured by diffusion tensor MRI, and it has been used in work in animals to assess potential neuroprotectants and can be used to predict subsequent neurological outcomes after birth asphyxia, including in infants treated with moderate hypothermia.~It is a scalar value between 0-1 that describe anisotropy of a diffusion process. A value of zero means that diffusion is unrestricted (or equally restricted) in all directions. A value of one means that diffusion occurs only along one axis and is fully restricted along all other directions or similar.~Fractional anisotropy data were extracted froma mask of the posterior limb of the internal capsule via tract-based spatial statistics. *Coefficient of variation=√(exp(var)-1), where var is the variance on the log scale" (NCT00934700)

Sensitivity and specificity for MRI-based ASL measure of presence of collaterals was measured using digital subtraction angiography as a gold standard. Measurements were for 20 regions per patient were scored as either positive or negative for collateral flow. A positive value (results) means the region is supplied by collateral flow. Negative means the region is supplied by antegrade (normal) flow. Sensitivity measures the proportion of positives that are correctly identified as such. Specificity measures the proportion of negatives that are correctly identified as such. (NCT01419275)

For each image set, a reader scored 6 regions of the lungs according to a three-point scale: 0=absent ventilation, 1=decreased ventilation, 2=normal ventilation; agreement between a pair of readers' assessments was based on the agreement of their ventilation scores by subject and lung region. (NCT03054870)

Kappa Statistics Between Pairs of Blinded Readers by Lung Region

By lung-region kappa statistics measuring inter-observer agreement between pairs of blinded readers for their ventilation scoring assessments within each of the three imaging groups: Xe-133, Technegas matched views, and Technegas all views. For each image set, a reader scored 6 regions of the lungs according to a three-point scale: 0=absent ventilation, 1=decreased ventilation, 2=normal ventilation. Kappa statistics for a pair of readers' assessments were derived from the frequencies of the cross-tabulation of the readers' ventilation scores by lung region. Kappa statistics are an index of inter-observer agreement corrected for chance with possible values ranging from -1 to 1, where 1 represents perfect agreement. (NCT03054870)

Blinded Readers Percent Agreement (PA) for Matching Image Views

Three blinded readers independently assessed the Xe-133 and Technegas images in separate reading sessions. Readers were blinded to all clinical information except a subject's screening chest X-ray. Xe-133 images were obtained per site-specific standard of care. Technegas images included a 6-view image set, and the primary endpoint was based on assessment of the subset of views that matched the Xe-133 image views. At the start of each case-read, a reader visually divided each lung into 3 regions of approximately equal size arranged craniocaudally (apical, mid, and basal), 6 regions in total, and then assessed each lung region for ventilation according to a three-point scale: 0=absent ventilation, 1=decreased ventilation, 2=normal ventilation. At the unplanned interim stage, PA between the Xe-133 scores and Technegas scores was tested for non-inferiority at one-sided alpha=0.0141, equivalent to the lower bound of the 97.18% confidence interval exceeding 60%. (NCT03054870)

Three blinded readers independently assessed the Xe-133 and Technegas images in separate reading sessions. Readers were blinded to all clinical information except a subject's screening chest X-ray. Xe-133 images were obtained per site-specific standard of care. Technegas images included a 6-view image set. Two sequential reads were conducted of each subject's Technegas images. In the first read, only views that matched the Xe-133 image views were presented and read, and assessments based on the matched views were used in the primary outcome measure. Immediately following the commitment of those assessments, all Technegas image views were presented to the reader, and a second assessment of all the Technegas image views was made using the same ventilation scoring metric as described for the primary outcome measure. The estimation of PA and its analyses were also the same as for the primary outcome measure. (NCT03054870)

Predicted Percentage of Remaining Pulmonary Function

Predicted percentage of remaining pulmonary function is a pre-specified section of lung were to be removed. Investigators indicated which portions of lung were likely to be resected. Remaining percentage of pulmonary function was determined by subtracting the percentage of pulmonary function contributed by the planned zone of resection from the total pulmonary function using a standard 6-zone image analysis of the lung. The difference between predicted percentage of remaining pulmonary function was calculated by subtracting the value derived from the 133Xe scintigraphy image from the value derived from the 129Xe MRI image (e.g. 129Xe - 133Xe).
