Lung densitometry assesses with computed tomography (CT) the X-ray attenuation of the
pulmonary tissue which reflects both the degree of inflation and the structural lung …

Currently, lung densitometry for the assessment of pulmonary emphysema has been fully
validated against pathology, pulmonary function, and health status, and it is therefore being …

We compared whole-lung densitometry with visual evaluation of pulmonary emphysema.
Thirty patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease underwent multi-detector CT (150 …

SUMMARY CT densitometry of the lung is a sensitive and readily available noninvasive
method for determining regional and global lung density. Automated computer analysis …

To guarantee the reliability of densitometric data in clinical trials on pulmonary emphysema
a quality control procedure is presented, to prevent that a measured progression in lung …

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to investigate whether computed tomography
(CT) densitometry can be applied consistently in different centers; and to evaluate the …
