Quantitative CT in AATD linked airway wall thickening and bronchiectasis to lung function, while wall thickness best predicted exacerbations in the next year, beyond emphysema severity alone.

When screening patients for lung cancer with low-dose computed tomography (CT), raising the nodule size threshold from 5 mm to 7 or 8 mm before starting a more intensive workup could result in fewer ...

The use of an AI-powered analysis of CT scans can help predict AATD exacerbations using airway wall thickness.
