Understanding the contribution of native tracheobronchial structure to lung function: CT assessment of airway morphology in never smokers

BACKGROUND: Computed tomographic (CT) airway lumen narrowing is associated with lower lung function. Although volumetric CT measures of airways (wall volume [WV] and lumen volume [LV]) compared to cross sectional measures can more accurately reflect bronchial morphology, data of their use in never s...
