Decreases in lung volume and lung height among ankylosing spondylitis patients with pulmonary function impairment: a 3D CT investigation

Abstract Background Respiratory compromise among ankylosing spondylitis (AS) patients is characterized by restrictive pulmonary function, leading to the need for a meticulous assessment of lung volume. Compared with conventional pulmonary function tests (PFTs), CT-based lung volume measurements have...
