Low-dose computed tomography volumetry for subtyping chronic lung allograft dysfunction

T Saito, M Horie, M Sato, D Nakajima… - The Journal of Heart and …, 2016 - Elsevier
Background The long-term success of lung transplantation is challenged by the
development of chronic lung allograft dysfunction (CLAD) and its distinct subtypes of
bronchiolitis obliterans syndrome (BOS) and restrictive allograft syndrome (RAS). However,
the current diagnostic criteria for CLAD subtypes rely on total lung capacity (TLC), which is
not always measured during routine post-transplant assessment. Our aim was to investigate
the utility of low-dose 3-dimensional computed tomography (CT) lung volumetry for …
