Evaluation of Novel Lung Function Parameters and Quantitative Computed Tomography (qCT) in Patients With Pulmonary Disease

March 23, 2020 updated by: Dr. Frederik Trinkmann, Universitätsmedizin Mannheim
Current diagnostic tools used in pulmonary disease often do not meet the challenges set by the respective pathophysiology. The investigators therefore aimed to evaluate novel or not widely used diagnostic approaches for the detection and therapeutic monitoring of patients with various pulmonary diseases.
