Quantitative Assessment of Air Trapping Using Inspiratory and Expiratory Low-Dose Computed Tomography
Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of radiation dose reduction on the quantification of air trapping on expiratory CT. Materials and methods: This study was conducted as a retrospective evaluation of inspiratory and expiratory CT studies performed in routine clinical practice before and after alteration of the scanning protocol for expiratory CT at our institute. Ei...
متن کاملUltra-low-dose sequential computed tomography for quantitative lung aeration assessment—a translational study
BACKGROUND Quantitative lung computed tomography (CT) provides fundamental information about lung aeration in critically ill patients. We tested a scanning protocol combining reduced number of CT slices and tube current, comparing quantitative analysis and radiation exposure to conventional CT. METHODS In pigs, CT scans were performed during breath hold in a model of lung injury with three di...

متن کاملAir trapping on computed tomography: regional versus diffuse.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is diagnosed and classified by spirometry, assessing the presence of airflow obstruction and extent of forced expiratory flow deterioration. Spirometry, however, is unsuitable for characterising and quantifying the underlying pulmonary pathology of COPD, including alveolar destruction (emphysema) and airway remodelling (largeand small-airway disease)...
متن کاملDose Assessment in Computed Tomography Examination and Establishment of Local Diagnostic Reference Levels in Mazandaran, Iran
Background: Medical X-rays are the largest man-made source of public exposure to ionizing radiation. While the benefits of Computed Tomography (CT) are well known in accurate diagnosis, those benefits are not risk-free. CT is a device with higher patient dose in comparison with other conventional radiation procedures. Objective: This study is aimed at evaluating radiation dose to patients from ...
