tomography (CT)-based characterization of the lung parenchyma in interstitial lung disease …

Quantitative analysis of thin-section CT of the chest has a growing role in the clinical
evaluation and management of diffuse lung diseases. This heterogeneous group includes …

Purpose: To develop a system for texture-based quantification of emphysema on high-
resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and to compare it with density-based …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Volumetric high-resolution scans can be acquired of the
lungs with multidetector CT (MDCT). Such scans have potential to facilitate useful …

Purpose: High-resolution chest computed tomography (HRCT) is essential in the
characterization of interstitial lung disease. The HRCT features of some diseases can be …

A texture-based adaptive multiple feature method (AMFM) for evaluating pulmonary
parenchyma from computed tomography (CT) images is described. This method …

Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are a heterogeneous group of conditions, with a wide and
complex variety of imaging features. Difficulty in monitoring, treating and exploring novel …

The frenetic development of imaging technology—both hardware and software—provides
exceptional potential for investigation of the lung. In the last two decades, CT was exploited …

Diffuse lung disorders (DLDs) and interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are pathological
conditions affecting the lung parenchyma and interstitial network. There are approximately …

Accurate diagnosis and quantification of pulmonary emphysema in vivo is important to
understand the natural history of the disease, to assess the extent of the disease, and to …
