Computed tomography (CT) thoracic imaging provides accurate assessment of both the
extent and distribution of emphysema. These measurements have been used to describe …

The use of computed tomography (CT) scanning to assess emphysema has exploded since
the mid-1980s. Since the definition of emphysema, permanent enlargement of airspaces …

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

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 …

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 …

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 …

Objective quantification of emphysema by high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT)
correlates with emphysema determined microscopically. The usefulness of HRCT in …

Objective: To evaluate if emphysema regional distribution and extension automatically
quantified from chest computed tomography (CT) is associated with lung function …

Traditionally, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) includes pulmonary
emphysema and chronic bronchitis. This definition of COPD has been recently modified by …

Introduction Worldwide 65 million people suffer from COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease) and it is expected to be the third cause of death in 2030. At this moment this …
