Stefanos Tzafos, MD, Stéphane Collaud, MD MS, Markus Wilhelm, MD, Stephan Wieser, MD, Walter Weder, MD, Ilhan Inci, MD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 103, Issue 2, Pages e115-e117 (February 2017) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2017 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 Chest computed tomography 18 months before lung volume reduction surgery showing (A) upper-lobe predominance of emphysema in lung window and (B) densitometry. Hypodense (emphysematous) and hyperdense (healthy/compressed) lung parenchyma appear red and violet-blue, respectively. Note the flattening of both diaphragms.

3 Fig 2 Chest computed tomography 4 months after lung volume reduction surgery in (A) lung window and (B) densitometry. Most of the emphysematous lung parenchyma was removed, and the diaphragms recovered their physiologic convexity.
