AI model used with one-inhale CT may help diagnose COPD suggests a study published in the Radiology: Cardiothoracic Imaging.A ...

Forced vital capacity (FVC) is the amount of air that can be forcibly exhaled from your lungs after taking the deepest breath possible. It's measured by spirometry, which is a common breathing test to ...

Plethysmography is a pulmonary function test that measures the health and function of the lungs by determining how much air the lungs can hold. It may be used along with other lung tests to help in ...

However, forced spirometry showing a post-bronchodilator FEV1/FVC < 0.7 is mandatory for a diagnosis of COPD, he said. The CT section of the report also has been updated to address the use of CT ...

Significant increases occurred for FEV1 and FVC, with a reduced but statistically significant decrease in FEV1/FVC. The use of the GLI Global equations resulted in a change in the spirometry pattern ...

Additionally, the majority of people with rapid FEV 1 /FVC declining trajectories had spirometrically defined COPD at age 53 years in TAHS, yet roughly half of those with fast declining lung function ...

Results 328 participants (122 CHIV, 126 CHEU, 80 CHU) performed PFT (ages 6.6–15.6 years). Spirometry (forced expiratory volume in 1 s, FEV1, forced vital capacity (FVC), FEV1/FVC) outcomes were ...

and spirometry between 2004 and 2022. Serial analysis was performed for patients with CPETs ≥ 2 years apart. Restrictive lung pattern was categorized as forced vital capacity (FVC) ≤ 80% predicted ...
