“…Ventilation heterogeneity or regions of ''signal void'' were quantified as 3 He ventilation defect percent (VDP) using semiautomated software generated in MATLAB (Mathworks, Natick, MA) as previously described (15). Lobar VDP was generated by registering the segmented thoracic CT lobe mask from VIDA Pulmonary Workstation 2.0 (VIDA Diagnostics Inc., Coralville, IA) to 3 (15).…”

Purpose: We generated lung morphometry measurements using single-breath diffusion-weighted MRI and three different acinar duct models in healthy participants and patients with emphysema stemming from chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD). Methods: Single-breath-inhaled 3 He MRI with five diffusion sensitizations (b-value ¼ 0, 1.6, 3.2, 4.8, and 6.4 s/cm 2 ) was used, and signal intensities were fit using a cylindrical and single-compartment acinar-duct model to estimate MRIderived mean linear intercept (L m ) and surface-to-volume ratio (S/V). A stretched exponential model was also developed to estimate the mean airway length and L m . Results: We evaluated 42 participants, including 15 elderly never-smokers (69 6 5 years), 12 ex-smokers without COPD (67 6 11 years), 9 COPD ex-smokers (80 6 6 years), and 6 AATD patients (59 6 6 years). In the never-and ex-smokers, the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DL CO ) and computed tomography relative area of less than 2950 Hounsfield units (RA 950 ) were normal, but these were abnormal in the COPD and AATD patients, which is reflective of emphysema. Although cylindrical and stretched-exponential-model estimates of L m and S/V were not significantly different, the single-compartment-model estimates were significantly different (P < 0.05) for the never-and ex-smoker subgroups. All models estimated significantly worse L m and S/V in the AATD and COPD subgroups compared with the never-and exsmokers without emphysema. Conclusions: Differences in airspace enlargement may be estimated using L m and S/V, generated using MRI and a stretchedexponential or cylindrical model of the acinar ducts.

It is well-established that COPD patients have a burden of vascular disease that cannot be fully-explained by smoking history but the mechanistic links between atherosclerosis and pulmonary disease in COPD patients are not well-understood. Moreover, in ex-smokers without symptoms or other evidence of COPD, subclinical pulmonary and vascular disease, although potentially present, has not been described or evaluated. Hence our aim was to use sensitive three-dimensional (3D) pulmonary and carotid imaging to quantify pulmonary airway/parenchyma abnormalities and atherosclerosis in ex-smokers without airfl ow limitation or symptoms consistent with COPD. We evaluated 61 subjects without airfl ow limitation including 34 never-(72 ؎ 6 years) and 27 ex-smokers (73 ؎ 9 years), who provided written informed consent to spirometry, plethysmography,
