Abstract:
:Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease is defined as a preventable and treatable disease state characterized by airflow limitation that is not fully reversible. This review will discuss the relevant anatomy of the secondary pulmonary lobule, the subtypes of emphysema, and their imaging appearances and corresponding pathologic findings.
