The repeatability of computed tomography lung volume measurements: Comparisons in healthy subjects, patients with obstructive lung disease, and patients with restrictive lung disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
In this study, we examined the repeatability of computed tomography (CT) lung volume measurements in healthy individuals and patients with obstructive and restrictive lung diseases. To do this, we retrospectively enrolled 200 healthy individuals (group 1)

It's not all about small airways disease: key limitations of oscillometry interpretation [PDF]

Frontiers in Allergy
An exciting aspect of oscillometry is the ability to detect small airways disease (SAD), particularly through frequency dependence of resistance, commonly measured as R5-R20. While SAD influences oscillometry measurements, it is important to realize that

Ultrasound assessment of diaphragm thickness and related determinants in healthy female adolescents: a retrospective study [PDF]

BMC Pulmonary Medicine
Background The diaphragm plays a crucial role in respiration and is influenced by changes in body composition. However, data on the relationship between diaphragm thickness, respiratory muscle strength, and body composition in healthy adolescents are ...

Intra- and Inter-Reader Variations in Lung Nodule Measurements: Influences of Nodule Size, Location, and Observers

Diagnostics, 2022
(1) Background: Accurate measurement of lung-nodule size is necessary, but whether a three-dimensional volume measurement is better or more reliable than the one-dimensional method is still unclear.

Comparison of Predicted Postoperative Lung Function in Pneumonectomy Using Computed Tomography and Lung Perfusion Scans

Journal of Chest Surgery, 2021
Background: Predicting postoperative lung function after pneumonectomy is essential. We retrospectively compared postoperative lung function to predicted postoperative lung function based on computed tomography (CT) volumetry and perfusion scintigraphy

Desaturation-Distance Ratio During Submaximal and Maximal Exercise Tests and Its Association With Lung Function Parameters in Patients With Lymphangioleiomyomatosis

Frontiers in Medicine, 2021
Background: The desaturation–distance ratio (DDR), the ratio of the desaturation area to the distance walked, is a promising, reliable, and simple physiologic tool for functional evaluation in subjects with interstitial lung diseases ...
