DOI: 10.1097/rti.0000000000000325
Abstract: Purpose: Dynamic computed tomography (CT) of the airways is increasingly used to evaluate patients with suspected expiratory central airway collapse, but current protocols are susceptible to inadequate exhalation caused by variable patient compliance with breathing… read more here.
