CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE WITH EMPHYSEMA AND GIANT BULLAE IN A SMOKER
Radiation diagnosis in evaluating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is used to distinguish clinically similar diseases and to identify concomitant pathological changes.

Radiation diagnosis in evaluating chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is used to distinguish clinically similar diseases and to identify concomitant pathological changes. Highresolution computed tomography (HRCT) is employed for detailed analysis of the status of the lung.
