Differences in airway lumen area between supine and upright computed tomography in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease

Abstract Background No clinical studies to date have compared the inspiratory and expiratory airway lumen area between supine and standing positions. Thus, the aims of this study were twofold: (1) to compare inspiratory and expiratory airway lumen area (IAA and EAA, respectively) on computed tomogra...
