A formula for predicting emphysema extent in combined idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema
Respiratory ResearchBackground No single pulmonary function test captures the functional effect of emphysema in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Without experienced radiologists, other methods are needed to determine emphysema extent. Here, we report the development and
