Achest X-rayor a high-resolutioncomputerized tomographyscan (an HRCT scan) may be taken. An HRCT scan is often taken because it provides more detail than a chest X-ray. It is beneficial in detecting emphysema. A pulmonary function test should be used because it detects and assesses the sev...
An alternative extra-anatomical approach has been suggested and is in early developmental stages (43,44). Expiratory flow rates may be augmented by surgically creating a fistula between the diseased hyper-inflated lung parenchyma and the chest wall thus reducing hyperinflation. The larger calibre bypas...

A chest radiograph and CT scan shows the presence of a “tree-in-bud” appearance (which refers to airway obstruction in radiologic terms), which is another strong indicator of airway obstruction and subsequent bronchiectasis. The accuracy levels of high-resolution CT (HRCT) scans are very high ...
TheHRDLscan sequences consisted of azimuth (conical) scans at three elevation angles (Fig. Many of the NEAQS-04 measurements were assimilated into the experimental model runs, but theHRDLmeasurements were withheld, so they constitute an independent verification dataset. ...
