综述了定量计算机断层扫描(CT)在肺气肿诊断中的应用。CT主要用于临床环境下对肺形态的直观评估。越来越多的治疗方法正在被开发来治疗肺气肿患者，这需要准确地量化过程的范围和分布。此外，功能评估可以通过推断详细的解剖相关性和使用动态扫描方案直接测量局部功能来进行。本综述的目的是总结目前影像在评估肺气肿患者中的作用。该综述将集中于CT对形态异常的评估，以及对功能异常的评估和治疗靶向的潜在作用。
The emerging role of quantitative computed tomography (CT) in the evaluation of pulmonary emphysema is reviewed. CT is primarily used in the clinical setting to assess lung morphology visually. Increasingly treatments are being developed to treat patients with emphysema that require accurate quantitation of extent and distribution of the process. In addition, functional assessment can be made by inference of detailed anatomic correlates and by direct measurement of regional function using dynamic scan protocols. The aim of this review is to summarize the current role of imaging in the assessment of patients with emphysema. The review will focus on CT for the evaluation of morphologic abnormalities and on the potential role for the evaluation of functional abnormalities and treatment targeting.
