Pulmonary emphysema subtypes on computed tomography: the MESA COPD study
BM Smith, JHM Austin, JD Newell Jr… - The American journal of …, 2014 - Elsevier
Background Pulmonary emphysema is divided into 3 major subtypes at autopsy:
centrilobular, paraseptal, and panlobular emphysema. These subtypes can be defined by
visual assessment on computed tomography (CT); however, clinical characteristics of
emphysema subtypes on CT are not well defined. We developed a reliable approach to
visual assessment of emphysema subtypes on CT and examined if emphysema subtypes
have distinct characteristics. Methods The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis COPD Study …
