Abstract
In this proof-of-concept demonstration, we evaluated CT and MRI lung emphysema measurements and observed significantly worse MRI biomarkers of emphysema in patients with AATD compared to patients with COPD, although CT RA950 and diffusing capacity of carbon monoxide were not significantly different, underscoring the sensitivity of MRI measurements of AATD emphysema.
