Thesis
Developing clinical measures of lung function in COPD patients using medical imaging and computational modelling
- Abstract:
-
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) describes a range of lung conditions including emphysema, chronic bronchitis and small airways disease. While COPD is a major cause of death and debilitating illness, current clinical assessment methods are inadequate: they are a poor predictor of patient outcome and insensitive to mild disease. A new imaging technology, hyperpolarised xenon MRI, offers the hope of improved diagnostic techniques, based on regional measurements using functional i...
