Regional lung densities in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency compared to predicted values

Regional lung densities in alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency compared to predicted values

Abstract Background We developed a method to calculate a standard score for lung tissue mass derived from CT scan images from a control group without respiratory disease. We applied the method to images from subjects with emphysema associated with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD) and used it to...
