Collapsibility of lung volume by paired inspiratory and expiratory CT scans: correlations with lung function and mean lung density
T Yamashiro, S Matsuoka, BJ Bartholmai… - Academic …, 2010 - Elsevier
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the relationship between measurements of
lung volume (LV) on inspiratory/expiratory computed tomography (CT) scans, pulmonary
function tests (PFT), and CT measurements of emphysema in individuals with chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Forty-six smokers (20 females
and 26 males; age range 46–81 years), enrolled in the National Heart, Lung and Blood
Institute Lung Tissue Research Consortium, underwent PFT and chest CT at full inspiration …
