Abstract Introduction and Objectives Although tobacco smoking is a major risk factor for
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), more than one‐fourth of COPD patients are …

Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by airflow
limitation, caused by emphysema and small airways disease (SAD). Computed tomography …

ABSTRACT COPD is a heterogeneous disorder with clinical assessment becoming
increasingly multidimensional. We hypothesized HRCT phenotype would strongly influence …

Objectives To determine the correlation between CT measurements of emphysema or
peripheral airways and airflow obstruction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …

Computed tomographic based indices of emphysematous lung destruction may highlight
differences in disease pathogenesis and further enable the classification of subjects with …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is defined as incompletely reversible
expiratory airflow obstruction, likely caused by exposure to noxious inhaled particles. 1 The …

Emphysema distribution is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is,
however, unknown whether computed tomography (CT)-quantified emphysema distribution …

Background Limited data are available as to the relationship between computed
tomography (CT) derived data on emphysema and airway wall thickness, and quality of life …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a pathological pulmonary condition
characterized by expiratory airflow obstruction due to emphysematous destruction of the …

Background CT is used to quantify abnormal changes in the lung parenchyma of smokers
that might overlap chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), but studies on the …
