The Impact of CT Reconstruction Parameters on Emphysema Index Quantification, HU‐Based Measurements, and Goddard Score in COPD Assessment: A Prospective Study

These findings confirm the reliability of CT-based emphysema quantification and highlight the importance of optimizing ST to balance sensitivity and image clarity. Standardized imaging protocols and AI-driven texture analysis could further enhance quantitative emphysema assessment, improving disease monitoring and therapeutic decision-making in COPD management.
