Abstract

Objective To investigate the value of CT Pulmonary Function Imaging of the inspiratory phase of senile emphysema. Methods 60 cases with senile emphysema were selected in this study, which were underwent 16-slice spiral thin slice CT scan and made grading of emphysema according to lung function CT imaging. Results Mild emphysema in 13 cases, 34 cases of moderate emphysema, severe emphysema, 23 cases; 58 patients with clinical grading 96.7%. Conclusion Inspiratory phase CT lung function imaging can be more accurate, the intuitive reaction emphysema distribution, especially for the upper lung emphysema, more objective reaction emphysema classification, and can distinguish the cause of emphysema, its clinical diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of clinical significance.
