Visual Assessment of Residual Volume and Total Lung Capacity Visit 1 to 2 Volume Outliers

Scan Type No. of Subjects with >20% V2 ΔAir Volume Motion or Metal Artifacts* Large BMI Changes* Cases with Comorbidities Such as Fibrosis, Paralyzed Diaphragm, Lung Surgeries, etc.* Mismatched Subjects (V1 vs. V2)*
TLC 80 18 1 3 1
RV 162 18 1 3 1

Definition of abbreviations: BMI = body mass index; RV = residual volume; TLC = total lung capacity; V1 = visit 1; V2 = visit 2.

Results of visual assessment of RV and TLC data sets found to have >20% V2 air volume difference relative to baseline V1 values.

*

Scans that were found to have visibly apparent differences beyond what would be expected from disease progression and beyond a simple mismatched breath hold (V2 vs. V1).
