  • The value of biphasic CT in the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

    Objective To investigate the feasibility of diagnosis of potential chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients who cannot finish the pulmonary function test via biphasic CT scan. Methods Sixty-seven male individuals aged 43 to 74 (57.0±5.9) years were divided into a COPD group (n=26) and a control group (n=41). All individuals underwent biphasic quantitative CT scan for calculating the proportion of emphysema, functional small airway disease, and normal component of the whole lung and each lobe. Results Based on principle component analysis, two principal components “imaging feature function 1 and imaging feature function 2” were calculated and analyzed by logistic regression, which found that imaging feature function 1 was an independent risk factor of COPD (odds ratio=8.749, P<0.001), and imaging features function 1 could be used to assist the diagnosis of COPD (area under receiver operating characteristic curve=0.843, P<0.001). Conclusion Imaging features function 1 is an independent risk factor for COPD and can assist the diagnosis of COPD.
