CT may better reflect gas exchange impairment than radiographs in LAM; leaves open impact on clinical management.
Does computed tomography correlate better with pulmonary functional impairment than chest radiography in patients with lymphangiomyomatosis?
CT is superior to chest radiography for assessing disease extent and its correlation with functional impairment in pulmonary lymphangiomyomatosis.
Müller et al. (1990) studied this question.
