Objective Our goal was to establish the reproducibility and accuracy of the CT scanner in
densitometry of the lungs. Materials and Methods Scanner stability was assessed by …

PURPOSE: To quantify inter-and intrascanner conformity in computed tomographic (CT)
densitometry of the lungs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: With six scanners from four …

with CT. Invest Radiol 1999; 34: 303–309. RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES. To determine …

Purpose: Our goals were to determine the dependence of CT number histograms of the lung
on section thickness and reconstruction filter and to evaluate the consequences for scan …

Ultimately CT‐densitometry of the lung should give comparable results on all scanners. One
prerequisite for this is the use of the same density resolution. Unfortunately, density …

Accuracy, reproducibility, and objectivity are important in quantitative assessment of lung
density and structure by CT, and the measurement has to be carried out under tightly …

PURPOSE: To compare lung densitometric measurements that use a three-dimensional
(3D) reconstruction of the lungs with those obtained from analysis of two-dimensional (2D) …

To guarantee the reliability of densitometric data in clinical trials on pulmonary emphysema
a quality control procedure is presented, to prevent that a measured progression in lung …

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to investigate whether computed tomography
(CT) densitometry can be applied consistently in different centers; and to evaluate the …

SUMMARY CT densitometry of the lung is a sensitive and readily available noninvasive
method for determining regional and global lung density. Automated computer analysis …
