dose: 10-20 mCi
imaging: posterior position
negative pressure room required
uses activated charcoal trap to accumulate the exhaled xenon gas until decayed to
background
single breath: during inhalation
wash in / equilibrium : collected while the xenon distributes through aerated portions of
the lung
wash out : while radioactivity is cleared from lungs
