Application of an optical flow method to inspiratory and expiratory lung MDCT to assess regional air trapping: a feasibility study.
نویسندگان
چکیده
OBJECTIVE We describe the application of an optical flow method to inspiratory and expiratory high-resolution volumetric lung MDCT for the assessment of regional air trapping. CONCLUSION Qualitative and quantitative assessment of regional air trapping is feasible using an optical flow method to align volumetric MDCT data sets.

Quantitative Assessment of Global and Regional Air Trappings Using Non-Rigid Registration and Regional Specific Volume Change of Inspiratory/Expiratory CT Scans: Studies on Healthy Volunteers and Asthmatics
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to compare air trapping in healthy volunteers with asthmatics using pulmonary function test and quantitative data, such as specific volume change from paired inspiratory CT and registered expiratory CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixteen healthy volunteers and 9 asthmatics underwent paired inspiratory/expiratory CT. ΔSV, which represents the ratio of air fra...

Background: Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) is one of the most prevalent pulmonary diseases. Use of an automatic system for the detection and diagnosis of the disease will be beneficial to the patients' treatment decision-making process. In this paper, we propose a new approach for the Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) of the disease and determination of its severity axial CT scan ima...
متن کاملAir Trapping: A Cause of Heterogeneous Attenuation
Purpose: To investigate important factors affecting the frequency of air trapping through observation of normal lung attenuation, and propose a cause of heterogeneous attenuation. Materials and Methods: In this ethical committee-approved study, a total of 109 patients (30 males, 79 females; mean age, 58.2 years; range, 27 81 years) were included. All patients had undergone inspiratory and expir...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the diagnostic value of different patient positions during expiratory low-dose thin-layer multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) for detecting air trapping after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). PATIENTS AND METHODS Expiratory lung MDCT scanning was done for 51 post-allo-HSCT patients in both the supine and prone positions to determine...

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/...
