Purpose To provide a new detailed visual assessment scheme of computed tomography
(CT) for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by using standard reference images …

Purpose Visual assessment of computed tomography (CT) of the lung is routinely employed
in the diagnosis of emphysema. Quantitative CT (QCT) can complement visual CT but must …

Computed tomographic based indices of emphysematous lung destruction may highlight
differences in disease pathogenesis and further enable the classification of subjects with …

The purposes of this study were: to describe chest CT findings in normal non-smoking
controls and cigarette smokers with and without COPD; to compare the prevalence of CT …

The severity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is evaluated not only by
airflow limitation but also by factors such as exercise capacity and body mass index. Recent …

CT scans of 474 patients with suspected chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)
were retrospectively evaluated by automated software. There was a correlation between the …

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by the presence of airflow
limitation that is caused by a combination of small airway remodeling and emphysema …

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 …

Purpose To evaluate the relationships between DL CO, and Quantitative CT (QCT)
measurements and visual assessment of pulmonary emphysema and to test the relative …

BACKGROUND: During the last few decades, high-resolution computed tomography
(HRCT) has come up as a new diagnostic modality to diagnose emphysematous and …
