Comparative StudyMicroCT Comparison of Preterminal Bronchioles in Centrilobular and Panlobular Emphysema.
Very little is known about airways that are too small to be visible on thoracic multidetector computed tomography but larger than the terminal bronchioles. ⋯ These results provide new information about small airways pathology in centrilobular and panlobular emphysema and show that these changes affect airways that are not visible with thoracic multidetector computed tomography scans but located proximal to the terminal bronchioles in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
