ABSTRACT Background The pulsatile expansion of pulmonary vessels carries dynamic cardiopulmonary information that may reveal disease earlier than structural changes alone. Purpose To test (i) intra‐ and inter‐scan repeatability of dynamic vessel metrics in healthy subjects, and (ii) whether chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and postcapillary
