The Use of High Resolution Chest Computed Tomography in Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency

NCT00532805 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 49

Last updated 2018-01-23

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Individuals with a deficiency of alpha-1 antitrypsin (AAT) often develop emphysema. Traditional lung function tests may not be the most accurate way to measure the progression of emphysema. This study will compare high resolution computed tomography (CT) scans to spirometry to measure the progression of emphysema.
