The utility of dynamic chest radiography in patients with asthma, COPD, COVID-19 and ILD: A pilot study.

Introduction And Objectives: Assessment of breathlessness requires a combination of imaging and lung function testing. Dynamic digital radiography (DDR) of the thorax is an imaging technique that allows physiological and anatomical information to be gathered at the time of chest X-ray and has the potential to significantly streamline diagnostic pathways. The aims of this study were to investigate the acceptability of DDR to patients and explore the correlation between DDR-derived measurements with lung volumes measured using full pulmonary function tests (PFT).
