• W2752968830 abstract "Lung densitometry assesses with computed tomography (CT) the X-ray attenuation of the pulmonary tissue which reflects both the degree of inflation and the structural lung abnormalities implying decreased attenuation, as in emphysema and cystic diseases, or increased attenuation, as in fibrosis. Five reasons justify replacement with lung densitometry of semi-quantitative visual scales used to measure extent and severity of diffuse lung diseases: (I) improved reproducibility; (II) complete vs. discrete assessment of the lung tissue; (III) shorter computation times; (IV) better correlation with pathology quantification of pulmonary emphysema; (V) better or equal correlation with pulmonary function tests (PFT). Commercially and open platform software are available for lung densitometry. It requires attention to technical and methodological issues including CT scanner calibration, radiation dose, and selection of thickness and filter to be applied to sections reconstructed from whole-lung CT acquisition. Critical is also the lung volume reached by the subject at scanning that can be measured in post-processing and represent valuable information per se. The measurements of lung density include mean and standard deviation, relative area (RA) at -970, -960 or -950 Hounsfield units (HU) and 1st and 15th percentile for emphysema in inspiratory scans, and RA at -856 HU for air trapping in expiratory scans. Kurtosis and skewness are used for evaluating pulmonary fibrosis in inspiratory scans. The main indication for lung densitometry is assessment of emphysema component in the single patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases (COPD). Additional emerging applications include the evaluation of air trapping in COPD patients and in subjects at risk of emphysema and the staging in patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and with pulmonary fibrosis. It has also been applied to assess prevalence of smoking-related emphysema and to monitor progression of smoking-related emphysema, alpha1 antitrypsin deficiency emphysema, and pulmonary fibrosis. Finally, it is recommended as end-point in pharmacological trials of emphysema and lung fibrosis." @default.
