Relationship between CT air trapping criteria and lung function in small airway impairment quantification
BACKGROUND Small airways are regarded as the elective anatomic site of obstruction in most chronic airway diseases. Expiratory computed tomography (CT) is increasingly used to assess obstruction at this level but there is no consensus regarding the best quantification method. We aimed to evaluate software-assisted CT quantification of air trapping for assessing small airway obstruction and dete...
متن کاملQuantification of Pathologic Air Trapping in Lung Transplant Patients Using CT Density Mapping: Comparison with Other CT Air Trapping Measures
To determine whether density mapping (DM) is more accurate for detection and quantification of pathologic air trapping (pAT) in patients after lung transplantation compared to other CT air trapping measures. One-hundred forty-seven lung and heart-lung transplant recipients underwent CT-examinations at functional residual capacity (FRC) and total lung capacity (TLC) and PFT six months after lung...
متن کاملRelationship between exhaled nitric oxide and small airway lung function in normal and asthmatic children.
BACKGROUND In children, exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) is usually confounded by factors such as age and height. We evaluated the relationship between eNO and lung function by minimizing the effects of aging and height. METHODS In Study 1, the subjects comprised 738 elementary school children and junior high school children (aged 6 to 15 years, 366 males and 372 females). They were divided into tw...
متن کاملRelationship between air pollution, lung function and asthma in adolescents.
BACKGROUND The interrelationships between air pollution, lung function and the incidence of childhood asthma have yet to be established. A study was undertaken to determine whether lung function is associated with new onset asthma and whether this relationship varies by exposure to ambient air pollutants. METHODS A cohort of children aged 9-10 years without asthma or wheeze at study entry wer...
متن کاملCT Air Trapping Is Independently Associated with Lung Function Reduction over Time
PURPOSE We aimed to study the association between lung function decline and quantitative computed tomography (CT) air trapping. MATERIALS AND METHODS Current and former heavy smokers in a lung cancer screening trial underwent volumetric low-dose CT in inspiration and expiration. Spirometry was obtained at baseline and after 3 years. The expiratory to inspiratory ratio of mean lung density (E/...
