Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is described as airflow limitation that is not
fully reversible. Quantitative assessment of structural changes within the lung that are …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a heterogeneous disease characterized
by both small airway and parenchymal abnormalities. There is increasing evidence to …

Background Recent advances in multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) facilitate
acquiring important clinical information for managing patients with COPD. MDCT can detect …

Objectives Structural and functional changes in pulmonary vessels are prevalent at the initial
stages of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). These vascular alterations can be …

The Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease (GOLD) project defines chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) as a lung disease characterized by respiratory …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of mortality
worldwide. It is a heterogeneous disease involving different components of the lung to …

Introduction: Quantitative CT analysis is a promising method to differentiate phenotypes of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Each parameter from the airway wall and …

Method CT evaluation (n= 208) were excluded. Lungs and pulmonary blood vessels were
automatically extracted from volumetric inspiratory CT to calculate the lung volume (LV) and …

Imaging biomarkers of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) reduce entire lung CT
histograms to two quantile measurements, ignoring potentially valuable information across …

Objective: To investigate the associations between intrapulmonary vascular volume (IPVV)
depicted on inspiratory and expiratory CT scans and disease severity in COPD patients, and …
