About David R. Hillman

David R. Hillman

David R. Hillman is with the Department of Pulmonary Physiology at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital Australia and the West Australian Sleep Disorders Research Institute. Dr Hillman completed his specialist training in anaesthesia in 1981 before commencing a research fellowship in the Department of Pulmonary Physiology at Sir Charles Gairdner Hospital. In 1985 he was appointed to the hospital as a Clinical Physiologist and Anaesthetist. His time in these positions has coincided with a worldwide increase in knowledge of sleep and its disorders, particularly sleep apnoea. His research interests have increasingly centred on these problems. He has published over 50 scientific papers, and reviews regularly for international journals and national granting bodies.

  2. Distribution of airway narrowing responses across generations and at branching points, assessed in vitro by anatomical optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article Respiratory Research (Jan 23 2010) Bronchoscopy

    Distribution of airway narrowing responses across generations and at branching points, assessed in vitro by anatomical optical coherence tomography Background Previous histological and imaging studies have shown the presence of variability in the degree of bronchoconstriction of airways sampled at different locations in the lung (i.e., heterogeneity). Heterogeneity can occur at different airway generations and at branching points in the bronchial tree. Whilst heterogeneity has been detected by previous experimental approaches its spatial relationship either within or between airways is unknown. Methods In this study, distribution of airway narrowing ... (Read Full Article)

    Airway Narrowing Assessed by Anatomical Optical Coherence Tomography In Vitro: Dynamic Airway Wall Morphology and Function Regulation of airway caliber by lung volume or bronchoconstrictor stimulation is dependent on physiological, structural and mechanical events within the airway wall, including airway smooth muscle (ASM) contraction, deformation of the mucosa and cartilage, and tensioning of elastic matrices linking wall components. Despite close association between events in the airway wall and the resulting airway caliber these have typically been studied separately: the former primarily using histological approaches, the latter ...

  4. In vivo 4D imaging of the human lower airway using anatomical optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article SPIE Digital Library (Oct 5 2009) Endoscopy

    Anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT) is a long-range, fibre-optic endoscopic imaging modality capable of quantifying the size and shape of the human airway lumen. This paper presents the first application of respiratory gating to 3D aOCT volumetric data. A sequence of time-gated data volumes are generated, characterising the dynamic behaviour of a segment of the lower airway over an averaged respiratory cycle. The technique is demonstrated on in vivo data ... (Read Full Article)

  6. Measuring airway dimensions during bronchoscopy using anatomical optical coherence tomography

    Explore Article European Respiratory Journal (Jun 21 2009) Otolaryngology

    Airway dimensions are difficult to quantify bronchoscopically because of optical distortion and a limited ability to gauge depth. Anatomical optical coherence tomography (aOCT), a novel imaging technique, may overcome these limitations. This study evaluated the accuracy of aOCT against existing techniques in phantom, excised pig and in vivo human airways. Three comparative studies were performed: (i) micrometer-derived area measurements in ten plastic tubes were compared to aOCT-derived area; (ii) aOCT-derived ... (Read Full Article)

    A Method Of Providing Quantitative Information About The Lower Airways Of A Lung (Wo 2009/059368) The present disclosure provides a method of providing quantitative information about a property of the lower airways of a lung using optical coherence tomography. The method comprises inserting a probe head of an anatomical optical coherence tomography device into the lower airways. Further, the method comprises directing light to, and receiving reflected light from, an internal wall portion of the lower airways. The light is suitable for optical coherence tomography. ...
