A new functional method to choose the target lobe for lung volume reduction in emphysema – comparison with the conventional densitometric method

BACKGROUND: Lung volume reduction (LVR) improves breathing mechanics by reducing hyperinflation. Lobar selection usually focuses on choosing the most destroyed emphysematous lobes as seen on an inspiratory CT scan. However, it has never been shown to what extent these densitometric CT parameters pre...
