Abstract
Visual estimates of emphysema are not only determined by the extent of LAA, but also by lesion size, predominant type, and distribution of emphysema and presence/absence of areas of small airways disease. A computer analysis of low attenuation cluster size helps quantitative algorithms discriminate low attenuation areas from gas trapping, image noise, and emphysema.
