Diagnostic performance of lung volumes in assessment of reversibility in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease [PDF]
Background Reversibility measured by spirometry in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is defined as an increase in forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV1) that is both more than 12% and 200 mL above the pre-bronchodilator value in ...

Evaluation of spirometry-gated computed tomography to measure lung volumes in emphysema patients [PDF]
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 ...
