Abstract:
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common and frequently-occurring disease in the respiratory system. Chest computed tomography (CT) examination can provide a reference for the early diagnosis of COPD, and can objectively evaluate COPD emphysema, airway wall thicken, microvascular density and air retention. Meanwhile, chest CT can help prognosis prediction, COPD phenotype and individualized treatment evaluation. This article reviews current research progress of chest CT in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
