Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) refers to a group of highly heterogeneous diseases with high prevalence rate and fatality rate, which has become a worldwide public health challenge. Quantitative CT can effectively evaluate the characteristic changes of pulmonary parenchyma, airway and pulmonary vessels, having great significances in early diagnosis, monitoring disease progression and individualized treatment of COPD.
