Progressive damage on high resolution computed tomography despite stable lung function in cystic fibrosis.

For effective clinical management of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease it is important to closely monitor the start and progression of lung damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scoring systems and pulmonary function tests (PFT) to detect changes in lung disease. CF children (n=48) had two HRCT scans in combination with two PF...

High-resolution computed tomography

This paper investigates high-resolution reconstructions from eeciently sampled data in parallel-beam tomography, in particular local tomography. A class of sampling schemes is deened and characterized, and it is shown that the standard scheme and the interlaced scheme of Cormack are most promising. An error analysis for the ltered backprojection algorithm for both global and local tomography is...
