Evaluation of spirometry-gated computed tomography to measure lung volumes in emphysema patients. [PDF]
ERJ Open Res, 2022 Introduction In emphysema patient being evaluated for bronchoscopic lung volume reduction (BLVR), accurate measurement of lung volumes is important. Total lung capacity (TLC) and residual volume (RV) are commonly measured by body plethysmography but can ...

Lung Volume Calculation in Preclinical MicroCT: A Fast Geometrical Approach
Journal of Imaging, 2022 In this study, we present a time-efficient protocol for thoracic volume calculation as a proxy for total lung volume. We hypothesize that lung volume can be calculated indirectly from this thoracic volume.

Lung infection and normal region segmentation from CT volumes of COVID-19 cases [PDF]
Proceedings of SPIE Medical Imaging 2021: Computer-Aided
Diagnosis, Vol.11597, 115972X-1-6, 2022 This paper proposes an automated segmentation method of infection and normal regions in the lung from CT volumes of COVID-19 patients. From December 2019, novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spreads over the world and giving significant impacts to our economic activities and daily lives.

Bronchoscopic Lung Volume Reduction [PDF]
Seminars in Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2010 The application of lung volume reduction surgery in clinical practice is limited by high postoperative morbidity and stringent selection criteria. This has been the impetus for the development of bronchoscopic approaches to lung volume reduction.
