- Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is the third leading cause of mortality worldwide. It is a heterogeneous disease involving different components of the lung to varying extents. Developments in medical imaging and image analysis techniques provide new insights in the assessment of the structural and functional changes of the disease. This article reviews the leading imaging techniques: CT and MRI of the lung in research settings and clinical routine. Both visual and quantitative methods are reviewed, emphasizing their relevance to patient phenotyping and outcome prediction.
