CT Indexes of Emphysema and Airways in Healthy Volunteers: Normal Values; Relations With Gender, Height and Weight
Study Overview
Detailed Description
87 healthy volunteers performed consecutively a low-dose chest CT scan and pulmonary function tests:
On chest CT scans, indexes reflecting pulmonary emphysema and airways measurements have been computed by using dedicated softwares. Each of our three readers performed two reading sessions.
Relative area of lung parenchyma with attenuation value less than -960 Hounsfield Units; luminal area and wall thickness in third and fourth generations airways were recorded.
- Pulmonary function tests were performed: vital capacity, forced vital capacity , functional residual capacity, total lung capacity, residual volume, forced expiratory volume in one second, and diffusion lung capacity for carbon monoxide were recorded (either in absolute values and percentage of predicted values).
CT indexes were compared with gender, height and weight.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
CT index - RA960 (%)
Time Frame: 4 hours
|
From acquired data, images were reconstructed using a soft algorithm.
On these soft images, the relative area of lung parenchyma with attenuation value less than -960 Hounsfield Units was computed (expressed in %), as an index representative of pulmonary emphysema extent.
|
4 hours
|
CT index - LA3rd (mm2)
Time Frame: 4 hours
|
From acquired data, images were reconstructed using a high resolution algorithm.
On these high-resolution images, the airway lumen was measured in third generations of airways (expressed in mm2).
|
4 hours
|
CT index - LA4th (mm2)
Time Frame: 4 hours
|
From acquired data, images were reconstructed using a high resolution algorithm.
On these high-resolution images, the airway lumen was measured in fourth generations of airways (expressed in mm2).
|
4 hours
|
CT index - WT3rd (mm)
Time Frame: 4 hours
|
From acquired data, images were reconstructed using a high resolution algorithm.
On these high-resolution images, the airway wall was measured in third generations of airways (expressed in mm).
|
