Fractal analysis of low attenuation clusters on computed tomography in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

BACKGROUND: The fractal dimension characterizing the cumulative size distribution of low attenuation area (LAA) clusters, identified with a fixed threshold such as − 950 Hounsfield Units (HU), on computed tomography (CT) sensitively detects parenchymal destruction in chronic obstructive pulmonary di...
