Contrast enhanced CT-scans are not comparable to non-enhanced scans in emphysema quantification.
Claus Peter Heussel,J. Kappes,R. Hantusch,S. Hartlieb,Oliver Weinheimer,Hans U. Kauczor,R. Eberhardt +6 more
TL;DR: A retrospective analysis of 12 adult patients undergoing clinically indicated both a non-enhanced and enhanced thin section MSCT within a week was done, and CT quantification delivers emphysema values that are clearly affected by IV contrast application.
Computed Tomography Imaging for Novel Therapies of Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.
Hans-Ulrich Kauczor,Mark O. Wielpütz,Bertram J. Jobst,Oliver Weinheimer,Daniela Gompelmann,Felix J.F. Herth,Claus P. Heussel +6 more
TL;DR: In earlier stage COPD imaging, it is less clear as to what extent quantitative CT might impact decision making and therapy follow-up, as emphysema progression is too slow to realistically be useful as a mid-term outcome measure in an individual, and longitudinal data on airway remodelling are still very limited.
Quantification of pulmonary perfusion abnormalities using DCE-MRI in COPD: comparison with quantitative CT and pulmonary function
Marilisa Schiwek,Simon M. F. Triphan,Jürgen Biederer,Oliver Weinheimer,Monika Eichinger,Claus Vogelmeier,Rudolf A. Jörres,Hans-Ulrich Kauczor,Claus Peter Heußel,Philip Konietzke,Oyunbileg von Stackelberg,Frank Risse,Bertram J. Jobst,Mark O. Wielpütz +13 more
TL;DR: In this paper, Otsu et al. evaluated the clinical meaningfulness of perfusion defects in percent (QDP) using DCE-MRI and found that QDP was associated with established markers of disease severity and the extent corresponds to the CT-derived combined extent of emphysema and functional small airway disease.
Assessment of the relationship between lung parenchymal destruction and impaired pulmonary perfusion on a lobar level in patients with emphysema
Julia Ley-Zaporozhan,Julia Ley-Zaporozhan,Sebastian Ley,Sebastian Ley,Ralf Eberhardt,Oliver Weinheimer,Christian Fink,Christian Fink,Michael Puderbach,Monika Eichinger,Felix J.F. Herth,Hans-Ulrich Kauczor +11 more
TL;DR: 3D-HRCT and 3D MR-perfusion show a high lobar agreement between parenchymal destruction and reduction of perfusion in patients with severe emphysema.
Standardized airway wall thickness Pi10 from routine CT scans of COPD patients as imaging biomarker for disease severity, lung function decline, and mortality
Kathrin Kahnert,Rudolf A. Jörres,Hans-Ulrich Kauczor,Peter Alter,Franziska C. Trudzinski,Felix J.F. Herth,Bertram J. Jobst,Oliver Weinheimer,Sebastian Nauck,Pontus Mertsch,Diego Kauffmann-Guerrero,Jürgen Behr,Robert Bals,Henrik Watz,Klaus F. Rabe,Tobias Welte,Claus Vogelmeier,Jürgen Biederer +17 more
TL;DR: In this article , the authors evaluated the association of airway wall thickness on CT with exacerbations, mortality, and response to triple therapy and found that higher airway thickness was associated with lower FEV1 % predicted and higher RV/TLC, moreover the annual changes of lung function parameters.
