Background: The literature shows conflicting results when high-resolution computed
tomography (HRCT) scores of emphysema were correlated with different indices of airflow …

The development of the high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has improved the
ability to detect and quantify emphysema in various groups of patients with chronic airflow …

Objectives A combination of functional measurements reflecting a decrease in maximum
flow, a degree of lung hyperinflation, the relationship between maximum inspiratory and …

High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is a useful method for quantifying the extent
of emphysema. Few reports have mentioned the relationships between HRCT scans and …

Objective: To determine the association between emphysema extent from high-resolution
computed tomography (HRCT) and the physiological derangement in patients with chronic …

Objective The objective of this study was to determine the capability of quantitative
emphysema by computed tomography (CT) to assess pulmonary function impairment in a …

Abstract Background and Aims: The global initiative for COPD (GOLD) adopted the degree
of airway obstruction as a measure of the severity of the disease. The objective of this study …

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 …

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

Background The mechanisms underlying airflow obstruction in COPD cannot be
distinguished by standard spirometry. We ascertain whether mathematical modeling of …
