Identification of target zones for lung volume reduction surgery using three-dimensional computed tomography rendering

Background The key issues for performing lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) is the identification of the target zones. Recently introduced three-dimensional computed tomography rendering methods are used to identify the morphological distribution and its severity of lung emphysema by densitometry....
