Functional analysis of CT imaging in lung-transplanted patients is an emerging tool for the interpretation of parenchymal (patterns) evolution after lung transplantation (LT). Aim of this study was to determine the trends of pulmonary function (PFT) indices and quantitative CT parameters within 1-year followup. We prospectively collected PFT parameters (FEV1, FVC) and inspiration/expiration CT scans of LT patients at standard time-points (3-6-12 months). Specific gas volume (SV , ml/g) was measured on CT images as previously described (Salito et al, Radiology 2009; Aliverti et al, ERJ 2013). Selected quantitative indexes were lung volume at inspiration (V ) and the difference between inspiration and expiration SV normalized on expiration SV...
