Purpose To determine whether visually assessed patterns of emphysema at CT might
provide a simple assessment of mortality risk among cigarette smokers. Materials and …

Background The correlation between visual emphysema patterns and subsequent
progression of disease may provide a way to enrich a study population for treatment trials of …

Background The clinical significance of visually evident emphysema on CT images in
individuals without spirometric evidence of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) …

Background The relationship between emphysema progression and long-term outcomes is
unclear. Purpose To determine the relationship between emphysema progression at CT and …

Objective Our objective was to assess the usefulness of emphysema scores in predicting
death from COPD and lung cancer. Methods Emphysema was assessed with low-dose CT …

Background Pulmonary emphysema is divided into 3 major subtypes at autopsy:
centrilobular, paraseptal, and panlobular emphysema. These subtypes can be defined by …

Background Visual assessment remains the standard for evaluating emphysema at CT;
however, it is time consuming, is subjective, requires training, and is affected by variability …

Computed tomography (CT) scanning allows precise assessment of both the extent and
distribution of emphysema. There has been little work on the relationship between the …

Emphysema distribution is associated with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. It is,
however, unknown whether computed tomography (CT)-quantified emphysema distribution …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: This study investigated what factors radiologists take into
account when estimating emphysema severity and assessed quantitative computed …
