This article provides a brief overview of the important issues influencing the effective use of
quantitative X-ray computed tomography (QCT) in the assessment of the lung parenchyma …

Objective The objective of this study was to determine the capability of quantitative
emphysema by computed tomography (CT) to assess pulmonary function impairment in a …

Quantitative computed tomography is being increasingly used to quantify the features of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, specifically emphysema, air trapping, and airway …

Computed Tomography (CT) has been proved to be the most accurate imaging modality to
diagnose emphysema in vivo. Our study was aimed at comparing different CT methods for …

Introduction: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is composed of two diseases:
chronic bronchitis and emphysema. Methods and results for emphysema: The essence of …

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 …

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

Computed tomography (CT) is used to detect emphysematous changes in the lungs of living
patients. It is therefore important to develop a standard method for the radiographic …

Computed tomography has facilitated recognition that chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease is not a single disease but encompasses several overlapping entities, including …

Accurate diagnosis and quantification of pulmonary emphysema in vivo is important to
