Airway and emphysema assessment by quantitative CT among emphysema phenotype of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine
Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has been a major public health problem. Although pulmonary function test remains the primary diagnostic method, quantitative computed tomography (QCT) analysis has become more significant in the ...

Emphysema Is-at the Most-Only a Mild Phenotype in the Sugen/Hypoxia Rat Model of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension. [PDF]

, 2019
Translational research is essential to develop strategies for the treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) using animal models which reproduce the severity, the progressive nature and resistance to treatment of human PAH, including ...

A formula for predicting emphysema extent in combined idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema

Respiratory Research
Background 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

Pulmonary interstitial emphysema presenting in a woman on the intensive care unit: case report and review of literature

Journal of Medical Case Reports, 2011
Introduction Pulmonary interstitial emphysema is a life-threatening form of ventilator-induced lung injury. We present one of the few reported adult cases of pulmonary interstitial emphysema in a woman with respiratory failure admitted to our intensive ...

Pulmonary function measures predict mortality differently in IPF versus combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema [PDF]

, 2011
The composite physiologic index (CPI) was derived to represent the extent of fibrosis on high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), adjusting for emphysema in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

Clinical outcomes of radial probe endobronchial ultrasound using a guide sheath for diagnosis of peripheral lung lesions in patients with pulmonary emphysema

Respiratory Research, 2019
Background Generally, structural destruction of lung parenchyma, such as pulmonary emphysema, is considered to be related to the low diagnostic yields and high complication rates of lung biopsies of peripheral lung lesions.

Combined pulmonary fibrosis and emphysema syndrome: a radiologic perspective

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2015
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (that includes emphysema) results in significant morbidity and mortality worldwide. Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is also a chronic and progressive parenchymal lung disease with an average survival of less than

Classification of lung disease in HRCT scans using integral geometry measures and functional data analysis [PDF]

, 2010
A framework for classification of chronic lung disease from high-resolution CT scans is presented. We use a set of features which measure the local morphology and topology of the 3D voxels within the lung parenchyma and apply functional data classification
