note = "Positron emission tomography (PET) can be used to evaluate pulmonary vascular endothelial permeability by measuring the pulmonary transcapillary escape rate (PTCER) for radiolabeled transferrin. Because epithelial permeability, as evaluated by other techniques, is significantly affected by cigarette smoking, we used PET to compare the effects of smoking on extravascular lung density (EVD) and PTCER in seven normal chronic cigarette smokers within 30 min of smoking a cigarette and seven normal nonsmokers.",
