Abstract
PURPOSE: We generated lung morphometry measurements using single-breath diffusion-weighted MRI and three different acinar duct models in healthy participants and patients with emphysema stemming from chronic obstructive lung disease (COPD) and alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (AATD).
METHODS: Single-breath-inhaled
RESULTS: We evaluated 42 participants, including 15 elderly never-smokers (69 ± 5 years), 12 ex-smokers without COPD (67 ± 11 years), 9 COPD ex-smokers (80 ± 6 years), and 6 AATD patients (59 ± 6 years). In the never- and ex-smokers, the diffusing capacity of the lung for carbon monoxide (DL
CONCLUSIONS: Differences in airspace enlargement may be estimated using L
