Lung Volume Reduction Surgery for Emphysema Treatment: State-of-the-Art and Perspectives

<table>Axial ((a) and (b)) and coronal (c) TC imaging of an optimal candidate for LVRS due to severe upper-lobe predominant emphysema associated with relatively better preserved lower lobes lung tissue. Multiplanar reconstruction algorithm allows quantifying the extent of emphysema and provides coloured contrast enhancement (in blue) of the target regions for LVRS.</table>
