Spirometric assessment of emphysema presence and severity as measured by quantitative CT and CT-based radiomics in COPD

Spirometric assessment of emphysema presence and severity as measured by quantitative CT and CT-based radiomics in COPD

Abstract Background The mechanisms underlying airflow obstruction in COPD cannot be distinguished by standard spirometry. We ascertain whether mathematical modeling of airway biomechanical properties, as assessed from spirometry, could provide estimates of emphysema presence and severity, as quantif...
