Computer quantification of airway collapse on forced expiration to predict the presence of emphysema

BACKGROUND: Spirometric parameters are the mainstay for diagnosis of COPD, but cannot distinguish airway obstruction from emphysema. We aimed to develop a computer model that quantifies airway collapse on forced expiratory flow–volume loops. We then explored and validated the relationship of airway...
