Pulmonary emphysema is a form of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and a
chronic lung condition that results in a breakdown of alveoli walls. Quantitative Computed …

This review presents an overview of some recent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
techniques for measuring aspects of local physiology in the lung. MRI is noninvasive …

Residual volume (RV) is the volume of air remaining in the lungs after maximum forceful
expiration. In other words, it is the volume of air that cannot be expelled from the lungs, thus …

Background CT scan has notable potential to quantify the severity and progression of
emphysema in patients. Such quantification should ideally reflect the true attributes and …

We investigated five different methods which can be applied to quantitatively construct
functional tomograms of the lungs. The focus was on the sensitivity of functional tomograms …

Computed tomography (CT) and spirometry are the mainstays of clinical pulmonary
assessment. Spirometry is effort dependent and only provides a single global measure that …

Computed tomography (CT) is commonly used in the evaluation and management of
patients with diffuse lung pathologies, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …

In the newly revised Tenth Edition of Respiratory Medicine: Lecture Notes, a team of
