Abstract Objectives To compare automated mucus plug detection with radiologist evaluation, assess AI-assisted detection, and examine associations of algorithm-derived airway obstruction burden with COPD severity. Materials and methods This retrospective analysis included 278 COPD...

Quantitative computed tomography improves prediction of survival across ILD subtypes

Background Quantitative computed tomography (CT) methods are recognized as valuable tools for risk stratification in fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD). Data-driven textural analysis (DTA) is one such approach that correlates with worse lung function and shorter survival in...
