Airflow obstruction in bronchiectasis: correlation between computed tomography features and pulmonary function tests.
BACKGROUND An obstructive defect is usual in bronchiectasis, but the pathophysiological basis of airflow obstruction remains uncertain. High resolution computed tomographic (CT) scanning now allows quantitation of static morphological abnormalities, as well as dynamic changes shown on expiratory CT scans. The aim of this study was to determine which static and dynamic structural abnormalities o...
متن کاملMultidetector Computed Tomography (MDCT) Score and Pulmonary Function Tests in Determining Severity of Bronchiectasis
Objective: To determine the severity score of bronchiectasis using MDCT and pulmonary function tests and to relate the extent of MDCT score to pulmonary function tests. Patients and Methods: A prospective study was performed in Assuit University Hospitals from 2011 to 2013 and it included 50 patients underwent MDCT examination and pulmonary function. Two radiologists interpreted MDCT images acc...
متن کاملCorrelation Between Tissue Densities in Computed Tomography and Three Different Cone-Beam Computed Tomography Units (In Vitro)
Background and Aim: Bone density is of great assistance in the selection of the proper implant site. The present study aimed to assess the correlation between tissue densities in computed tomography (CT) and three different cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) units. Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, a radiographic phantom consisting of a transparent polymethyl methacrylate (PM...
متن کاملCorrelation between high-resolution computed tomography features and patients' characteristics in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
BACKGROUND During the last few decades, high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) has come up as a new diagnostic modality to diagnose emphysematous and chronic bronchitis components of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The present study was undertaken to evaluate for various quantitative and qualitative HRCT features in patients with COPD, and to detect patients' characteristics t...
متن کاملEmphysema and bronchiectasis in COPD patients with previous pulmonary tuberculosis: computed tomography features and clinical implications
Background Pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) is a risk factor for COPD, but the clinical characteristics and the chest imaging features (emphysema and bronchiectasis) of COPD with previous PTB have not been studied well. Methods The presence, distribution, and severity of emphysema and bronchiectasis in COPD patients with and without previous PTB were evaluated by high-resolution computed tomograp...
