Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)is a heterogeneous and complex disease, and is characterized by exertional dyspnea and chronic cough. For many years, lung function testing have been used to diagnose COPD, but the sensitivity of lung function testing is low, so there is an urgent need for more sensitive diagnostic methods that show early changes in pathology. In recent years, with the rapid development of HRCT, quantitative CT, new magnetic resonance imaging technology, optical coherence tomography (OCT), artificial intelligence, electrical impedance tomography, etc, it provides a basis for the early diagnosis of COPD. This article reviewed the progress in imaging studies of early COPD in recent years.
