The inspiratory capacity/total lung capacity ratio as a predictor of survival in an emphysematous phenotype of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. [PDF]
, 2015 BackgroundForced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) grades severity of COPD and predicts survival. We hypothesize that the inspiratory capacity/total lung capacity (IC/TLC) ratio, a sensitive measure of static lung hyperinflation, may have a ...

Fibro-CoSANet: Pulmonary Fibrosis Prognosis Prediction using a Convolutional Self Attention Network [PDF]
, 2021 Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a restrictive interstitial lung disease that causes lung function decline by lung tissue scarring. Although lung function decline is assessed by the forced vital capacity (FVC), determining the accurate progression of IPF remains a challenge. To address this challenge, we proposed Fibro-CoSANet, a novel end-to-end

Diffusing Capacity and Mortality in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease. [PDF]
, 2023 Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) mortality risk is often estimated using the BODE (body mass index, obstruction, dyspnea, exercise capacity) index, including body mass index, forced expiratory volume in 1 second, dyspnea score, and

Lung Imaging with UTE MRI [PDF]
, 2023 Cross-sectional imaging of the lungs, or pulmonary imaging, has proven to be an incredibly valuable tool in a wide range of pulmonary diseases. The vast majority of lung imaging is done with CT, as it is fast enough to freeze respiratory motion and provides high spatial resolution to visualize fine structure of the lungs.
