Abstract:Background There were previous studies to predict postoperative lung function with pulmonary function test (PFT). Computing tomography (CT) can quantitatively measure small airway wall thickness, lung volume, pulmonary vessel volume, and emphysema area, which reflect the severity of respiratory diseases. These measurements are considered as imaging biomarkers. This study aimed to predict postoperative lung function with imaging biomarkers.
Methods Retrospective analysis of 79 lung cancer patients who underwen… Show more
