Abstract
|
|
|
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has significant heterogeneity in its clinical presentation and rate of disease progression among affected individuals, owing at least in part to differing pulmonary morphologic abnormalities. Chest computed tomography (CT) is a noninvasive imaging modality that provides additional insight into structural and pathophysiologic pulmonary parameters, leading to a better understanding of disease variability and further characterization of COPD phenotypes. we review chest CT quantification methods and clinical implications of several pulmonary parameters (emphysema, airway disease, air trapping, and pulmonary vasculature) to provide better comprehensive care for patients with COPD.
