Time to Exhale: Additional Value of Expiratory Chest CT in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Objectives. Diagnostic guidelines for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are based on spirometry and clinical criteria. However, this does not address the pathophysiological complexity of the disease sufficiently. Until now, inspiratory chest computed tomography (CT) has been considered as...
