Objectives To determine the correlation between CT measurements of emphysema or
peripheral airways and airflow obstruction in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …

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 …

Characterisation and quantification of emphysema are necessary for planning of local
treatment and monitoring. Sensitive, easy to measure, and stable parameters have to be …

Purpose: The aim of the study was to use three-dimensional high-resolution CT scan data
sets in inspiration and expiration for the quantitative evaluation of emphysema. Using an …

Background To evaluate the effect of radiation dose and scanner manufacturer on
quantitative CT scan measurements of lung morphology in smokers. Methods Low-dose and …

Purpose: To develop a system for texture-based quantification of emphysema on high-
resolution computed tomography (HRCT) and to compare it with density-based …

Study objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between high-
resolution CT (HRCT) lung attenuation measurements, acquired under spirometric control of …

To evaluate feasibility and diagnostic quality of ultra‐short TR/TE two‐dimensional (2D)
steady state free precession (SSFP) MRI for cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. We performed lung …

Purpose We have little knowledge about the evolution of emphysema, and relatively little is
understood about its evolution in relation to smoking habits. This study aims to assess the …

Purpose: Quantitative evaluation of the lung parenchyma might be impaired or unreliable by
use of reduced-dose CT protocols. Aim of the study was to define the threshold where …
