Airway wall area derived from 3-dimensional computed tomography analysis differs among lung lobes in male smokers.

Airway wall area derived from 3-dimensional computed tomography analysis differs among lung lobes in male smokers.

<h4>Background</h4>It is time-consuming to obtain the square root of airway wall area of the hypothetical airway with an internal perimeter of 10 mm (√Aaw at Pi10), a comparable index of airway dimensions in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), from all airways of the whole lung...
