Upper Airway Areas, Volumes, and Linear Measurements Determined on Computed Tomography During Different Phases of Respiration Predict the Presence of Severe Obstructive Sleep Apnea

Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the potential of using low-dose volumetric computed tomography (CT) during different phases of respiration for identifying patients likely to have severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), defined as a respiratory disturbance index (RDI) higher than 30...
