| Abstract | PURPOSE OF REVIEW: There is increasing interest in using multichannel computed-tomography scanning in the characterization of subjects with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Three distinct components - emphysema, large-airway inflammation and small-airway abnormality - have been evaluated using qualitative and quantitative approaches. Here we highlight computed-tomography findings of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and correlation with spirometric values. RECENT FINDINGS: A considerable percentage of the subjects with emphysema detected by computed-tomography screening had normal spirometry. Severity of emphysema varies widely, even with same disease stage in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Studies of the relationship between high-resolution computed-tomography lung-attenuation measurements acquired under spirometric control of inspiratory and expiratory lung volume and pulmonary function showed that inspiratory measurements assess the extent of emphysema and that expiratory measurements reflect airflow limitation and air trapping. The evaluation using three-dimensional computed tomography demonstrates that airflow limitation is more closely related to the dimensions of small airways than large airways. SUMMARY: Volumetric computed-tomography scans allow diagnosis and quantification of the individual small airway and emphysema phenotypes present in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. New computed-tomography scanning techniques should provide new insights into further understanding of the heterogeneity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
