Multidetector-row computed tomography (MDCT) can be used to quantify morphological features and investigate structure/function relationship in COPD. This approach allows a phenotypical definition of COPD patients, and might improve our understanding of disease pathogenesis and suggest new therapeutical options. In recent years, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has also become potentially suitable for the assessment of ventilation, perfusion and respiratory mechanics. This review focuses on the established clinical applications of CT, and novel CT and MRI techniques, which may prove valuable in evaluating the structural and functional damage in COPD.
多排螺旋计算机断层扫描(MDCT)可用于量化慢性阻塞性肺疾病(COPD)的形态学特征,并研究其结构/功能关系。这种方法能够对COPD患者进行表型定义,可能会增进我们对疾病发病机制的理解,并提出新的治疗选择。近年来,磁共振成像(MRI)也已潜在地适用于评估通气、灌注和呼吸力学。本综述重点关注已确立的CT临床应用,以及新型CT和MRI技术,这些技术在评估COPD的结构和功能损伤方面可能具有重要价值。
