Reference formulas for chest CT-derived lobar volumes in the lung-healthy general population
Question Lobar lung volumes can be derived from inspiratory CT scans, but healthy-lung reference values are lacking. Findings Lung and lobar volumes generally increased with age and height. Reference equations for lung/lobar volumes were derived from a sizeable lung-healthy population. Clinical relevance This study provides reference equations for inspiratory CT-derived lung and lobar volumes in a lung-healthy population, potentially useful for assessing candidates for lung volume reduction therapies, for lobe removal in lung cancer patients, and in case of restrictive pulmonary diseases.
