While computed tomography (CT) pulmonary angiography effectively aids diagnosis and embolus localization, patients with iodine allergies and kidney disease experience delayed diagnosis and\/or adverse effects. This exploratory preclinical study qualitatively describes PE-induced hemodynamic changes observable in CT perfusion imaging (CT-P), a computationally derived surrogate for perfusion imaging derived from non-contrast four-dimensional CT (4DCT), in a small pilot cohort.\n                    <jats:italic>Approach<\/jats:italic>\n                    . Two laboratory mice were imaged with a micro-4DCT scanner before and after the introduction of a synthetic PE, created using radiopaque alginate beads to enable embolus localization in 4DCT images. CT-P images were computed by segmenting the right and left lungs at the maximum inhale\/exhale phase and quantifying the local tissue displacements using deformable image registration. Pre- and post-embolism CT-P heterogeneity was compared as a function of proximity to the embolism in the axial, coronal, and sagittal planes. CT-ventilation (CT-V) images were also computed using the Integrated Jacobian method to investigate co-localized ventilation-perfusion changes.\n                    <jats:italic>Main results.<\/jats:italic>\n                    In this two-animal pilot study, pre- and post-embolism imaging enabled observations not feasible in human studies. CT-P was observed to increase locally at the embolism site but decreased distally within the same lobe. Other lobes within the affected lung showed reduced perfusion, while the contralateral lung showed a compensatory increase mirroring the embolism location. Local perfusion variance near the embolism appeared greater in the unaffected regions. A lobe-wise CT-V\/CT-P mismatch of 12.79% and 13.60% was observed pre- and post-embolization.\n                    <jats:italic>Significance.<\/jats:italic>\n                    As a hypothesis-generating preclinical study, these results demonstrate the methodological potential of CT-P to capture embolism-associated hemodynamic changes, motivating future studies with larger sample sizes.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1088\/1361-6560\/ae8126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,23]],"date-time":"2026-06-23T22:54:49Z","timestamp":1782255289000},"page":"135018","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1088\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Quantitative perfusion imaging from non-contrast micro-ct for pulmonary embolism evaluation in preclinical models"],"prefix":"10.1088","volume":"71","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0005-8768-6459","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Blake","family":"Evans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Austin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3358-6560","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Hsu-Ting","family":"Kuo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Austin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-6329-9247","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Joshua","family":"Joseph","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Austin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5067-0334","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Allan John R","family":"Barcena","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marvin R","family":"Bernardino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6762-1149","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dominic Karl M","family":"Bolinas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8860-5092","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Steven Y","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6366-8206","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Lili","family":"Zhao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Northwestern University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Girish","family":"Nair","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Kentucky College of Medicine"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7447-0705","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Marites P","family":"Melancon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0523-487X","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Edward","family":"Castillo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"The University of Texas at Austin"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"266","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"pmbae8126bib1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1328","DOI":"10.1503\/cmaj.090371","type":"journal-article","article-title":"Allergic-type reactions to radiographic contrast media","volume":"182","author":"Baerlocher","year":"2010","journal-title":"Can.
