Low- and High-Attenuation Lung Volume in Quantitative Chest CT in Children without Lung Disease

Low- and High-Attenuation Lung Volume in Quantitative Chest CT in Children without Lung Disease

In contrast to studies of adults with emphysema, application of fixed thresholds to determine low- and high-attenuation areas (air-trapping and parenchymal lung disease) in pediatric quantitative chest CT is problematic. We aimed to assess age effects on: (i) mean lung attenuation (full inspiration)...
