Rib cage morphometric differences between a normal 58-year-old male

Download scientific diagram | Rib cage morphometric differences between a normal 58-year-old male smoker (A) and a 61-year-old male COPD patient with severe emphysema (B). Both detailed measurements and the 3D reformation display the main morphologic differences: larger upper rib cage dimensions and smaller lower rib cage dimensions in COPD. Overall, the morphometric changes in COPD contribute to the ‘‘barrel chest’’ configuration. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0068546.g003  from publication: Computed Tomography Measurement of Rib Cage Morphometry in Emphysema | Factors determining the shape of the human rib cage are not completely understood. We aimed to quantify the contribution of anthropometric and COPD-related changes to rib cage variability in adult cigarette smokers.
