Performance of a new quantitative computed tomography index for interstitial lung disease assessment in systemic sclerosis

Abstract Quantitative high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) may objectively assess systemic sclerosis (SSc)-interstitial lung disease (ILD) extent, using three basic densitometric measures: mean lung attenuation (MLA), skewness, and kurtosis.
