Background Beyond lung cancer, screening CT contains additional information on other
smoking related diseases (eg chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, COPD). Since …

Context Smoking is a major risk factor for both cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease (COPD). Computed tomography (CT)–based lung cancer screening may provide an …

Lung cancer and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are two intimately related
diseases, with great impact on public health. Annual screening using low-dose computed …

Background Lung cancer risk prediction models do not routinely incorporate imaging metrics
available on low-dose CT (LDCT) imaging of the chest ordered for lung cancer screening …

Rationale: Individuals eligible for lung cancer screening (LCS) by low-dose computed
tomography (LDCT) are also at risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) due to …

Abstract Purpose Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) includes chronic
bronchitis, small airways disease, and emphysema. Diagnosis of COPD requires spirometric …

Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is an underdiagnosed
condition sharing risk factors with lung cancer. Lung cancer screening may provide an …

Purpose High-resolution computed tomography (CT) is a validated method to quantify the
extent of pulmonary emphysema. In this study, we assessed the reliability of low-dose …

Background Recently, it has been shown that emphysematous destruction of the lung is
associated with a decrease in the total number of terminal bronchioles. It is unknown …

Background Incidental CT findings may provide an opportunity for early detection of chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which may prove important in CT-based lung …
