Inhalation therapy is the predominant method of treatment for a variety of respiratory diseases. The effectiveness of such treatment is dependent on the accuracy of medication delivery. Thus, personalized inhalation therapy wherein inhaler designs ar...
Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are important clinical metrics to measure the severity of interstitial lung disease for systemic sclerosis patients. However, PFTs cannot always be performed by spirometry if there is a risk of disease transmission or ...
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) represents a global public health issue that significantly impairs patients' quality of life and overall health. As one of the primary causes of chronic respiratory diseases and global mortality, effective...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has high heterogeneity in etiologies and clinical manifestations. Expiratory Computed tomography (CT) can effectively assess air trapping, aiding in disease diagnosis. However, du...
OBJECTIVE: To assess whether CT style conversion between different CT vendors using a routable generative adversarial network (RouteGAN) could minimize variation in ILD quantification, resulting in improved functional correlation of quantitative CT (...
BACKGROUND: The composite physiologic index (CPI) was developed to estimate the extent of interstitial lung disease (ILD) in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) patients based on pulmonary function tests (PFTs). The CALIPER-revised version of the CPI...

BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) affects breathing, speech production, and coughing. We evaluated a machine learning analysis of speech for classifying the disease severity of COPD.
BACKGROUND: Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare connective tissue disease associated with rapidly evolving interstitial lung disease (ILD), driving its mortality. Specific imaging-based biomarkers associated with the evolution of lung disease are need...
PURPOSE: To explore the effect of different reconstruction algorithms (ASIR-V and DLIR) on image quality and emphysema quantification in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients under ultra-low-dose scanning conditions.
