We studied 10 healthy nonsmokers and 8 healthy smokers, in both the upright and supine position, to investigate whether regional differences in respiratory clearance of technetium-99m-labeled diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid 99mTc-DTPA (RC-DTPA) existed and to assess the influence of posture and smoking on the regional RC-DTPA. RC-DTPA was assessed by the lung clearance rates (%/min) of aerosolized 99mTc-DTPA (0.8 .mu.m MMD; 2.4 GSD), using data corrected for recirculating radioactivity, in the upper (zone 1), a middle (zone 2), and lower (zone 3) posterior lung fields. In nonsmokers, RD-DTPA in zone 1 was faster than in zone 2 or 3 in both the upright (P < 0.001) and supine positions (P < 0.01). Noneffect was produced by changes in posture on the regional RC-DTPA. In smokers, RC-DTPA was increased in all zones compared with the nonsmokers (P = 0.004), with a further increase in RC-DTP in zone 1 in the upright posture compared with the other regions (P < 0.001). We conclude that 1) in nonsmoker regional RC-DTPA is faster in zone 1 than in other zones, and this is not related to recirculation of radioactivity; 2) posture does not modify the regional RC-DTPA of nonsmokers; 3) smoking increases RC-DTPA in all zones and more in zone 1 in the upright position.
