Computed tomography quantification of tracheal abnormalities in COPD and their influence on airflow limitation

Purpose To present a method to automatically quantify tracheal morphology changes during breathing and investigate its contribution to airflow impairment when adding CT measures of emphysema, airway wall thickness, air trapping and ventilation. Methods Because tracheal abnormalities often occur loca...
