Quantitative assessment of airway wall thickness in COPD patients with interstitial lung abnormalities

Quantitative assessment of airway wall thickness in COPD patients with interstitial lung abnormalities

BackgroundWhether the airway is involved in the pathogenesis of interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) is not well understood. Also the impact of ILA on lung function in COPD patients remains controversial. We aimed to assess the quantitative CT measurements of airway wall thickness (AWT) and lung fu...
