Rationale and Objectives: This study investigated what factors radiologists take into account when estimating emphysema severity and assessed quantitative computed tomography (CT) measurements of low attenuation areas.Materials and Methods: CT scans and spirometry were obtained on 1519 chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) subjects, 269 smoker controls, and 184 nonsmoker controls from the Evaluation of COPD Longitudinally to Indentify Surrogate Endpoints (ECLIPSE) study. CT scans were analyzed using the threshold technique (%
