| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Respiratory function tests and CT examinations have been mainly used for evaluation of patients with COPD, but they are said to have little correlation with severity and prognosis, and it is considered that a new modality is required. Dual-energy CT can visualize and quantify the distribution of iodine contrast agent in the lung, and it is said that there is a correlation with blood flow. Sixty-two subjects were divided into two groups: with (n=14) and without (n=48) COPD. We evaluated the quantification of lung PBV. Lung PBV values were 20.1±5.5 and 30.6±7.6 in those with and without COPD, respectively, with a significant difference between them (p<0.0001). Quantification of lung PBV reflects reduced pulmonary perfusion in patients with COPD.
