Limitations of airway dimension measurement on images obtained using multi-detector row computed tomography.

Limitations of airway dimension measurement on images obtained using multi-detector row computed tomography.

OBJECTIVES: (a) To assess the effects of computed tomography (CT) scanners, scanning conditions, airway size, and phantom composition on airway dimension measurement and (b) to investigate the limitations of accurate quantitative assessment of small airways using CT images. METHODS: An airway phanto...
