Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the study is to assess the correlation between artificial intelligence (AI)-based low attenuation volume percentage (LAV%) with forced expiratory volume in the first second to forced vital capacity (FEV1/FVC) and visual emphysema grades in routine chest computed tomography (CT). Furthermore, optimal LAV% cutoff values for predicting a FEV1/FVC < 70% or moderate to more extensive visual emphysema grades were calculated.
