Densitometry for assessment of effect of lung volume reduction surgery for emphysema

To explore if change in the extent of emphysema correlated with change in lung function, the effect of resection of emphysematous tissue was studied by computed tomography (CT) densitometry. In addition, the current authors studied how surgery-induced change in emphysema related to lung density in c...
