Chest MRI and CT Predictors of 10-Year All-Cause Mortality in COPD
COPD. 2023 Dec;20(1):307-320. doi: 10.1080/15412555.2023.2259224. Epub 2023 Sep 22.ABSTRACTPulmonary imaging measurements using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed tomography (CT) have the potential to deepen our understanding of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by measuring airway and parenchymal pathologic information that cannot be provided by spirometry. Currently, MRI and CT measurements are not included in mortality risk predictions, diagnosis, or COPD staging. We evaluated baseline pulmonary function, MRI and CT measurements alongside imaging texture-features to predict 10-year all-cause mortal...
