Official Title: CT Indexes of Emphysema and Airways in Healthy Volunteers: Normal Values; Relations With Gender, Height and Weight

Brief Summary: Various indexes have been proposed to quantify both pulmonary emphysema and airways disease on chest CT scans. It is unknown whether these indexes should be consider in absolute values or as compared to predicted normal values. The purposes of the present study is thus : a) to measure these indexes at CT in healthy volunteers; b) to investigate their relations with gender, height and weight.
