  • Title: Reproducibility of quantitative, spirometrically controlled CT.
    Author: Kohz P, Stäbler A, Beinert T, Behr J, Egge T, Heuck A, Reiser M.
    Journal: Radiology; 1995 Nov; 197(2):539-42. PubMed ID: 7480708.
    Abstract:
    Quantitative spirometrically controlled computed tomography (with 1-mm-thick sections) was performed twice (with a 5-minute break) in 24 adult patients with pulmonary disease to objectively evaluate parenchymal changes in the lung. Twelve measurements of attenuation were made on apical, carinal, and basal scans (right, left, total of each level, total right, total left, total of all three scans), obtained at 50% vital capacity. Since differences in measurements between the first and second examination were not significant, the method provides highly reproducible results.
