CT Attenuation and Cross-Sectional Area of the Pectoralis Are Associated With Clinical Characteristics in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Patients
Purpose: Muscle wasting is associated with prognosis in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Computed tomography (CT) could serve as a method for muscle assessment due to its ability to measure both muscle quantity (e.g., cross-sectional muscle area) and muscle quality (e.g.,...
