Abstract

With a variety of clinical and pathologic characteristics, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a complicated, diverse disorder. Quantitative CT imaging has garnered significant attention in recent years due to its ability to offer a more accurate and unbiased evaluation of COPD. Quantitative imaging characteristics may be used to quantify emphysema, small-airway disease, and additional illnesses such as pulmonary artery changes, cardiovascular disease, cachexia, as well as osteoporosis, which are the main components of COPD. A growing body of research suggests that these metrics are linked to clinical indicators of illness extent, breathing-related symptoms, exacerbations of COPD, and death. Although the findings are promising, there are still several challenges when employing this quantitative method in routine clinical practice for the management of COPD patients. This article provides an overview of the present technological state of quantitative CT evaluation, with a focus on its health effects and limits. In addition, we explore current obstacles and the prospective future use of quantitative CT scans in evaluating COPD.
