The lung parenchyma is initially abnormal on chest radiographs in about one-half of patients. The percentage is higher on computed tomography which can detect disease when the radiograph is normal.
Since the disease progresses from the centrilobular portion, normal lung parenchyma in the perilobular portion tends to be preserved 2. The pulmonary vessels in areas of severe emphysema are small, with shunting of blood flow to lung parenchyma that can better exchange air to maintain matched ventilation and perfusion.
