Patients (53) with chronic obstructive airways disease and 19 age-matched controls were studied with computed tomography (CT). CT can detect the presence and distribution of pulmonary emphysema. Pulmonary vascular changes detectable on chest radiography correlate well with lung density as measured by CT. Patients with marked CT changes of emphysema had significantly greater impairment of diffusion capacity and FEV1.0/VC [1-s forced expiratory volume/vital capacity] than did the patients with less severe changes.
