    Citation Excerpt :

    Images were reconstructed at 0.5-mm intervals with 0.5-mm thick slices using an FC-03 filter. The histogram of CT Hounsfield Units (HU) was corrected for the air offset in Toshiba CT scanners (about –985 HU instead of the nominal –1000 HU with the FC03 filter) using an extra-thoracic air calibration method.22 Emphysema was quantified using inhouse software as percentage low attenuation voxels below –910 and –950 HU (% LAA-910 and %LAA-950).23
