Summary
This will be a prospective study examining the use of 99mTc-Annexin V-128 (AxV-128/Tc)
single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computerized tomography (CT) technology in
the imaging and functional assessment of the lung of patients with chronic obstructive
pulmonary disease (COPD), healthy volunteer smokers without COPD and healthy volunteer
subjects without smoking history. The aim of study is to determine if patients with COPD have
an increased AxV-128/Tc signal with SPECT/CT.
