Abstract
We have assessed emphysema by using routine histologic sections. The assessment is simple and quick and has little interobserver variation. It is well related to conventional assessments of emphysema and abnormalities of pulmonary function tests. We conclude that the method is suited to routine diagnosis at autopsy and to clinicopathologic correlative studies.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
