Interstitial lung diseases are a diverse group of disorders that involve inflammation and
fibrosis of interstitium, with clinical, radiological, and pathological overlap** features …

The purpose of this review article is to review the process of develo** optimal computed
tomography (CT) protocols for quantitative lung CT (QCT). In this review, we discuss the …

Objective To calculate by means of a computer-aided tool the volumes of healthy residual
lung parenchyma, of emphysema, of ground glass opacity (GGO) and of consolidation on …

Background Dark-field chest radiography allows for assessment of lung alveolar structure by
exploiting wave optical properties of x-rays. Purpose To evaluate the qualitative and …

Objective To evaluate by means of regression models the relationships between baseline
clinical and laboratory data and lung involvement on baseline chest CT and to quantify the …

Objective: To evaluate the performance of virtual non-contrast images (VNC) compared to
true non-contrast (TNC) images in photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD …

Background: Forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1) is central to the diagnosis of
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) but is imprecise in classifying disease …

Multiple thoracic imaging modalities have been developed to link structure to function in the
diagnosis and monitoring of lung disease. Volumetric computed tomography (CT) renders …

Objectives Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by variable
contributions of emphysema and airway disease on computed tomography (CT), and still …

Rationale: Loss of the peripheral pulmonary vasculature, termed vascular pruning, is
associated with disease severity in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease …
