COPD is diagnosed and evaluated by pulmonary function testing (PFT). Chest computed
tomography (CT) primarily serves a descriptive role for diagnosis and severity evaluation …

CT scans of 474 patients with suspected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
were retrospectively evaluated by automated software. There was a correlation between the …

Characterisation and quantification of emphysema are necessary for planning of local
treatment and monitoring. Sensitive, easy to measure, and stable parameters have to be …

To investigate whether lung function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(COPD) can be directly predicted using CT densitometric measures and assess the …

Computed tomography (CT) is the modality of choice for imaging the thorax and lung
structure. In chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), it used to recognise the key …

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

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate how emphysema extent and its regional distribution
quantified by chest CT are associated with clinical and functional severity in patients with …

Objectives Quantitative multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) as a potential
biomarker is increasingly used for severity assessment of emphysema in chronic obstructive …

Aim To characterize and compare total lung capacity (TLC) measured by plethysmography
with high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), and to identify variables that predict the …

Introduction Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can
provide detailed anatomic structures and quantitative function information for chronic …
