Journal ArticleDOI
Computed tomography in pulmonary emphysema
TL;DR: The study shows that CT can detect the presence and distribution of pulmonary emphysema and Pulmonary vascular changes detectable on chest radiography correlate well with lung density as measured by CT.
Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitation of emphysema by computed tomography using a "density mask" program and correlation with pulmonary function tests.
Mario Kinsella,Nestor L. Müller,Raja T. Abboud,Nancy J. Morrison,Nancy J. Morrison,Anne DyBuncio +5 more
TL;DR: Determination of the percentage of lung with areas of low attenuation by CT provides a useful method for quantitating emphysema in life and correlates significantly with pulmonary function tests.
Journal ArticleDOI
Diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema by computerised tomography.

TL;DR: The frequency distribution curves of EMI numbers within the lung fields of patients who proved to have centri-acinar emphysema differed significantly from those of the group who did not, there being more pixels in the EMI range -450 to -500 in the emphySEmatous group (p less than 0.001).
Journal ArticleDOI
Emphysema: definition, imaging, and quantification.
W M Thurlbeck,N L Müller +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss imaging of the chest in patients with pulmonary emphysema and discuss the use of CT for both qualitative and quantitative assessment of the presence and extent of emphyssema.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alpha 1 antitrypsin deficiency: the clinical and physiological features of pulmonary emphysema in subjects homozygous for Pi type Z. A survey by the British Thoracic Association.
TL;DR: Hereditary deficiency of alpha 1 antitrypsin, the main serum inhibitor of proteolytic enzymes is associated with pulmonary emphysema of early onset and there was a wide variance in lung function even among those who had never smoked.
