Abstract: The article focuses on the challenges of achieving repeatable and accurate quantitative computed tomography (QCT) measurements in pulmonary medicine, particularly in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) studies. It discusses the barriers to widespread adoption of QCT measures, the efforts to standardize QCT acquisition protocols, and the development of key repeatability data through the NIH-funded SPIROMICS cohort.
