Brief Summary
A major source of graft failure and dysfunction in lung transplantation is known to be bronchiolitis obliterans (BO)and its clinical correlate called bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome(BOS). In fact, BOS is the leading cause of death in lung recipients beyond one year post transplant. Currently, our ability to assess lung injury after transplant is less than ideal. The purpose of this study is to use new computerized tomography(CT) technology, specifically , 64 bit acquisition, to detect and predict the onset of lung injuries, with the hope of finding better therapies that currently exist.
