CT reveals changes in lung holes in emphysema patients
By Will Morton
CT imaging of lung holes could offer a new way to visualize and quantify the natural course of emphysema.

Emphysema progression with hole changes, with holes colored according to their diameter in 2-mm increments. (A) Baseline inspiratory nonenhanced axial CT scans in a 48-year-old man with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease show emphysema holes with hyperexpansion of secondary pulmonary lobules (white arrows) and thin alveolar walls visible in the right upper lobe. This emphysematous lesion is filled with holes of varying sizes. A single large air cyst was observed in the left upper lobe (black arrows), classified as a single emphysema hole of 20 mm or greater (bright green). (B) At six-year follow-up inspiratory nonenhanced axial CT, the holes in the right upper lobe have merged (white arrows), with no visible alveolar septa remaining, resulting in the formation of a large new hole of 20 mm or greater (bright green). Meanwhile, the hole in the left upper lobe also enlarged, merging with adjacent holes (black arrows). The size of other holes in the paramedian left upper lobe decreased.

German researchers tout U-Net for pixel-level lung thickness maps
By Liz Carey
The deep-learning model may be helpful for diagnosing and preventing the progression of pulmonary diseases during routine chest x-ray screenings.

Qualitative results of eight frontal chest radiographs from the synthetic public test set, where each column represents one participant. Participants one through four are from the Luna16 test set, and participants five through eight are from the pulmonary embolism test set. (A) Simulated input radiographs, (B) predicted thickness maps, (C) reference standard thickness maps, and (D) absolute difference between the reference standard and predicted maps. The color bars for B and C indicate lung thickness in millimeters (mm). The color bar for D indicates the pixel-level estimation error in mm.
