Table 4.

Quantitative CT indices for the control and heart failure groups. Less negative means, lower skew and kurtosis, and higher full width half max suggest greater levels of extravascular lung water. Patients with HF had greater levels of EVLW as indicated by the difference in skew, kurtosis, and full width half max. Data are median and interquartile range.
