Can CT-Based Arterial and Venous Morphological Markers of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Explain Pulmonary Vascular Remodeling?
R Li, M Song, R Wang, N Su, E Linning - Academic Radiology, 2024 - Elsevier
Rationale and Objectives We analyzed changes in quantitative pulmonary artery and vein
parameters to investigate pulmonary vascular remodeling characteristics in chronic
obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. Materials and Methods This retrospective
study recruited healthy volunteers and COPD patients. Participants undergoing standard-of-
care pulmonary function testing (PFT) and computed tomography (CT) evaluations were
classified into five groups: normal and Global Initiative for Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease …
