OBJECTIVES: To determine the capability of quantitative bronchial luminal volume to assess pulmonary function loss and disease severity in pulmonary emphysema patients.
METHODS: Thirty-seven smokers (mean age, 68.1 years) underwent CT examinations and pulmonary function tests. For the quantitative assessment, luminal voxels of trachea and bronchi were computationally counted and the ratio of the following luminal voxels to all luminal voxels was obtained: (1) the lobe bronchi and the peripheral bronchi (Ratio(lobe)), and (2) the main bronchi and the peripheral bronchi (Ratio(main)). To determine the capability of these assessments to predict pulmonary function loss, these ratios were correlated with pulmonary function tests. To determine the capability for predicting disease severity, these ratios were compared between clinical groups.
RESULTS: These ratios were no significant correlated with vital capacity and forced vital capacity (FVC) (p > 0.05), however significantly correlated with forced expiratory volume in 1s (FEV1) (Ratio(lobe): r = 0.61, p < 0.0001, Ratio(main): r = 0.58, p < 0.0005) and FEV1/FVC (Ratio(lobe): r = 0.36, p < 0.05, Ratio(main): r = 0.33, p < 0.05). The Ratio(lobe) of smokers without COPD was significantly different from those of moderate COPD and severe or very severe COPD (p < 0.05), while that of mild COPD was significantly different from that of severe or very severe COPD (p < 0.01). The Ratio(main) of severe or very severe COPD patients was significantly different from those of other groups (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Quantitative bronchial luminal volumes were reflected the airflow limitation parameters and was corresponded to clinical groups in emphysema patients.
