Summary: Purpose and Scope of the ProcedureStandardize process for receiving lung donations Scope: Coordination of screening, acceptance and receipt of tissue for research programsPrinciples Lung donations rejected for transplantation can be used to understand human lung structure and development, ultimately to improve care of patients with lung diseaseRapid, standardized and safe processing of human tissue for the HTC requires coordination of a team of staff, materials and attention to protocolsRapid processing is required to maintain the tissues in a state as close to normal as possibleUltra-high resolution CT Scan in an inflated state will provide a high-level comparative assessment of human lung structure across developmental ages (See Protocol 603)Principles Lung donations rejected for transplantation can be used to understand human lung structure and development, ultimately to improve care of patients with lung diseaseRapid, standardized and safe processing of human tissue for the HTC requires coordination of a team of staff, materials and attention to protocolsRapid processing is required to maintain the tissues in a state as close to normal as possibleUltra-high resolution CT Scan in an inflated state will provide a high-level comparative assessment of human lung structure across developmental ages (See Protocol 603)
