Isolated lung perfusion (ILuP) is an experimental surgical technique for the treatment of pulmonary metastases. Phase I trials showed a wide range in drug lung levels. This may be due to the variance of lung size and pulmonary intravascular volume (PIV). Therefore, we developed a method to assess PIV and investigated the relation of PIV and dry lung weight (DLW).
