PURPOSE Quantitative evaluations of airway dimensions through computed tomography (CT) have revealed a good correlation with airflow limitation in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. However, large inaccuracies have been known to occur in CT airway measurements. Ultra-high-resolution CT (UHRCT) might improve measurement accuracy using precise scan modes with minimal focal spot. We assessed the effects of scan mode and focal spot size on airway measurements in UHRCT. METHODS COPDGene Ⅱ phantom, comprising a plastic tube mimicking h
