Correlation of positron emission tomography ventilation-perfusion matching with CT densitometry in severe emphysema

Correlation of positron emission tomography ventilation-perfusion matching with CT densitometry in severe emphysema

Abstract Background Emphysema severity is frequently measured on CT via densitometry. Correlation with scintigraphic and spirometric functional measures of ventilation or perfusion varies widely, and no prior study has evaluated correlation between densitometry and lobar ventilation/perfusion in pat...
