[Chest X-ray and computed tomography in the evaluation of pulmonary emphysema].
Jornal Brasileiro de Pneumologia : Publicaça̋o Oficial da Sociedade Brasileira de Pneumologia e Tisilogia 2007 November
Emphysema is a condition of the lung, characterized by the abnormal increase in the size of the airspace distal to the terminal bronchioles. Currently, emphysema is the fourth leading cause of death in the USA, affecting 14 million people. The present article describes the principal tools in the imaging diagnosis of emphysema, from the early days until the present. We describe traditional techniques, such as chest X-ray, together with the evolution of computed tomography (CT) to more advanced forms, such as high resolution CT, as well as three-dimensional CT densitometry and volumetric assessment.
