Visual assessment versus Quantitative densitometry by computed tomography for detection of mild emphysema

In conclusion, visual assessment of emphysema is reliable. Quantitative measurements of LAV950 by the software used in this study were not able to distinguish patients with or without visually detected mild emphysema. Other quantitative methods need to be evaluated for use in large-scale studies.
