This article focuses on three main topics: (1) the importance of emphysema as a serious respiratory disease, (2) qualitative assessment of emphysema using CT, and (3) the emerging importance of quantitative CT in the evaluation of patients with emphysema for surgery and drug therapy. CT also can identify the major anatomic subtypes of emphysema. CT is critical in the assessment of patients with the potential for lung volume reduction surgery. CT may well be superior to pulmonary function tests in the longitudinal assessment of current and proposed drug therapies for the treatment of emphysema. 相似文献

Automated lobar quantification of emphysema has not yet been evaluated. Unenhanced 64-slice MDCT was performed in 47 patients
evaluated before bronchoscopic lung-volume reduction. CT images reconstructed with a standard (B20) and high-frequency (B50)
kernel were analyzed using a dedicated prototype software (MevisPULMO) allowing lobar quantification of emphysema extent.
Lobar quantification was obtained following (a) a fully automatic delineation of the lobar limits by the software and (b)
a semiautomatic delineation with manual correction of the lobar limits when necessary and was compared with the visual scoring
of emphysema severity per lobe. No statistically significant difference existed between automated and semiautomated lobar
quantification (p > 0.05 in the five lobes), with differences ranging from 0.4 to 3.9%. The agreement between the two methods (intraclass correlation
coefficient, ICC) was excellent for left upper lobe (ICC = 0.94), left lower lobe (ICC = 0.98), and right lower lobe (ICC = 0.80).
The agreement was good for right upper lobe (ICC = 0.68) and moderate for middle lobe (IC = 0.53). The Bland and Altman plots
confirmed these results. A good agreement was observed between the software and visually assessed lobar predominance of emphysema
(kappa 0.78; 95% CI 0.64–0.92). Automated and semiautomated lobar quantifications of emphysema are concordant and show good
agreement with visual scoring.

Pulmonary emphysema: subjective visual grading versus objective quantification with macroscopic morphometry and thin-section CT densitometry. 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
PURPOSE: To compare subjective visual grading of pulmonary emphysema with macroscopic morphometry and computed tomographic (CT) densitometry. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In 62 consecutive patients who underwent thinsection CT before surgical lung resection, emphysema was objectively quantified with computer-assisted macroscopic morphometry and CT densitometry. The percentage of lung macroscopically occupied by emphysema was compared with the percentage occupied on CT scans by pixels with attenuation values lower than a predefined threshold (CT densitometry). Three readers with varying degrees of expertise subjectively graded emphysema with visual assessment at two reading sessions. Data from objective quantification and subjective grading were analyzed with correlation coefficients, and interobserver and intraobserver agreement were calculated. RESULTS: Subjective grading of emphysema showed less agreement with the macroscopic reference standard results (r = 0.439-0.505; P < .05) than with objective CT densitometric results (r = 0.555-0.623; P < .001). The 95% CIs for the intercepts of the linear regression lines were suggestive of systematic subjective overestimation of emphysema by all three readers. Interobserver agreement was moderate (kappa = 0.431-0.589). Intraobserver agreement was good to excellent (kappa = 0.738-0.936). The expertise of individual readers did not substantially influence results. CONCLUSION: Systematic overestimation and moderate interobserver agreement may compromise subjective visual grading of emphysema, which suggests that subjective visual grading should be supplemented with objective methods to achieve precise, reader-independent quantification of emphysema. 相似文献

Objectives
To determine the improvement of emphysema quantification with density correction and to determine the optimal site to use for air density correction on volumetric computed tomography (CT).Methods
Seventy-eight CT scans of COPD patients (GOLD II–IV, smoking history 39.2 ± 25.3 pack-years) were obtained from several single-vendor 16-MDCT scanners. After density measurement of aorta, tracheal- and external air, volumetric CT density correction was conducted (two reference values: air, −1000 HU/blood, +50 HU). Using in-house software, emphysema index (EI) and mean lung density (MLD) were calculated. Differences in air densities, MLD and EI prior to and after density correction were evaluated (paired t-test). Correlation between those parameters and FEV1 and FEV1/FVC were compared (age- and sex adjusted partial correlation analysis).Results
Measured densities (HU) of tracheal- and external air differed significantly (−990 ± 14, −1016 ± 9, P < 0.001). MLD and EI on original CT data, after density correction using tracheal- and external air also differed significantly (MLD: −874.9 ± 27.6 vs. −882.3 ± 24.9 vs. −860.5 ± 26.6; EI: 16.8 ± 13.4 vs. 21.1 ± 14.5 vs. 9.7 ± 10.5, respectively, P < 0.001). The correlation coefficients between CT quantification indices and FEV1, and FEV1/FVC increased after density correction. The tracheal air correction showed better results than the external air correction.Conclusion
Density correction of volumetric CT data can improve correlations of emphysema quantification and PFT. 相似文献12.

Purpose: We evaluated the usefulness of CT for assessing oxygen desaturation during walking in patients with emphysema.Material and Methods: The study comprised 32 patients with emphysema (mean age 67±6 years). Serial CT images of 5 mm were obtained from the apex to the basal regions of the lung during deep inspiration. The severity of emphysema was scored by four physicians according to a visual method. A six-minute walking test and oxygen desaturation (pSO2) measurements were performed.Results and Conclusion: The mean CT score of the four observers was signfiicantly correlated with the nadir pSO2 and ΔpSO2, but did not correlate with the total distance walked. These results suggest that CT may be used for the assessment of oxygen desaturation during low-grade exercise in patients with emphysema. 相似文献

PURPOSE: The present study assessed the usefulness of CT for diagnosis of pulmonary emphysema (PE) using teleradiology. METHODS: We reviewed 95 cases (56 men and 39 women, ranging in age from 18 to 89 years) who had undergone CT examination between June 2002 and January 2003. CT images were transmitted via ISDN by DICOM to our hospital, and displayed in 4-image and 1-image format for reading on an image viewer. RESULTS: In 72 of the total 95 cases, both 1-image and 4-image displays were normal, and no PE was detected. Of the remaining 23 patients, PE was found in 22 on 4-image display and in all 23 on 1-image display. The same grade and subtype were observed on 4-image and 1-image displays in 19 cases. On the other hand, difference in diagnosis between the two types of display was obtained in four cases, in which mild low attenuation areas (LAAs) such as grade 1 or grade 2 centrilobular emphysema were found on the 1-image display but not seen on the 4-image display. CONCLUSIONS: The diagnosis of PE can be made by CT examination using teleradiology even in cases of mild lesions, when, for example, LAAs were found on the 1-image display but not seen on the other one. Therefore, teleradiology enables rapid diagnosis even in medical institutions where no expert chest radiologist is present. 相似文献

We aimed to determine the degree and extent of parenchymal abnormalities on pulmo-CT in patients with emphysema. The study group consisted of 29 patients (18 male, 11 female; mean age 57.9+/-13). The diagnosis was based on clinical symptoms, pulmonary function tests (PFT) values, and chest CT findings. All of the patients CT scans were obtained during suspended deep inspiration from the apices to the costophrenic angles. The mean lung attenuation (MLD) and parenchymal abnormalities related to emphysema were quantitatively calculated with tables, histograms and graphics at the whole lung. The lung density measurements revealed a mean density of -898.48+/-51.37 HU in patients with emphysema and -825.1+/-25.5 HU in control group. In addition, mean percentage of subthreshold attenuation values was found as 12.03+/-15.75 and 1.07+/-0.83 in patients with emphysema and control group, respectively. Compared with control group, the patients with emphysema had a significantly lower inspiratory MLD (p<0.05). Additionally, statistically significant correlations were seen between the MLD and percentage of subthreshold values (r=0.44, p<0.05). In contrast, there was poor correlation between PFT measurements and the subthreshold values. In conclusion, pulmo-CT is a quick, simple method for quantitative confirmation of the presence of parenchymal abnormalities of lung as mosaic attenuation and should be used in combination with other radiological methods and PFT as it gives additional information to routine examinations in patients with emphysema. 相似文献

Systemic, interventional and surgical treatments have gone new ways in treatment of emphysema. For longitudinal therapy monitoring and as end-points for clinical trials, quantification of the disease is necessary. Sensitive, easy to measure, as well as stable and reproducible parameters have to be characterized. One parameter that might affect emphysema quantification is IV contrast enhancement, which might also be indicated. Whether or not the contrast enhanced scan is also suited for emphysema quantification or an additional scan is necessary, a retrospective analysis of 12 adult patients undergoing clinically indicated both, a non-enhanced and enhanced thin section MSCT within a week (median 0 days, range 0-4 days) was done. The in-house YACTA software was used for automatic quantification of lung and emphysema volume, emphysema index, mean lung density, and 5th, 10th, 15th percentile.After IV contrast administration, the median CT derived lung volume decreased mild by 1.1%, while median emphysema volume decreased by relevant 11%. This results in a decrease of median emphysema index by 9%. The median lung density (15th percentile) increased after contrast application by 18 HU (9 HU).CT quantification delivers emphysema values that are clearly affected by IV contrast application. The detected changes after contrast application show the results of higher density in the lung parenchyma. Therefore the amount of quantified emphysema is reduced and the lung density increased after contrast enhancement. In longitudinal analyses, non-enhanced scans should be the reference, while enhanced scans cannot be used. 相似文献
