Radiation diagnostics of the state of ventilation and pulmonary circulation in patients with COPD by O. S. Sementsov, S. V. Stepanenko

“…It is believed that in the initial stages of COPD, when spirometry and clinical data do not reveal abnormalities, radiological diagnosis is more sensitive than functional tests. Among the modern methods of radiological diagnosis of lung diseases - the method of CT today is the most sensitive and specific method of detecting pathological changes in the lung parenchyma and respiratory tract, it is available and widely used in everyday practice. …”

Interobserver Variability in Manual Versus Semi-Automatic CT Assessments of Small Lung Nodule Diameter and Volume by Frida Zacharias, Tony Martin Svahn

“…Spearman’s test showed that there was a much stronger relationship (<i>p</i> < 0.05) between reviewers for the semi-automatic diameter and volume measurements (avg. r = 0.97 ± 0.017 and 0.99 ± 0.005, respectively) than for the manual method (avg. r = 0.91 ± 0.017). In the Bland–Altman test, the semi-automatic diameter measure outperformed the manual method for all comparisons, while the volumetric method had better results in two out of three comparisons. …”
