[HTML][HTML] Morphological quantification of emphysema in small human lung specimens: comparison of methods and relation with clinical data
AA Robbesom, EMM Versteeg, JH Veerkamp… - Modern Pathology, 2003 - Elsevier
Small human lung specimens are frequently used for cell biological studies of the
pathogenesis of emphysema. In general, lung function and other clinical parameters are
used to establish the presence and severity of emphysema/chronic obstructive pulmonary
disease without morphological analysis of the specimens under investigation. In this study
we compared three morphological methods to analyze emphysema, and evaluated whether
clinical data correlate with the morphological data of individual lung samples. A total of 306 …
