Methods: Fifty patients with lung cancer who underwent lobectomy/segmentectomy were included in the study. Preoperative quantitative CT scans and pulmonary function tests data were evaluated retrospectively. We compare these measurements with postoperative morbidity.
Results: There were 32 males and 18 females with a mean age of 54.4±13.9 years. Mean total density was −790.6±73.4 HU. The volume of emphysematous lung was (},
