Brief Summary
This study uses CT scans to assess airflow in the lung, the scan is quick, cheap and painless. The information from the scan may help doctors tell which patients are suitable to have surgery to cure early stage lung cancer. It may also help doctors tell which patients would benefit from surgery for emphysema and diagnose types of lung disease. The investigators will follow up patients who go through surgery to test how well the scan predicts the function of the lung after surgery. The investigators will follow patients being investigated for lung disease to test how accurate the scan is at the getting the diagnosis right.

Study Arms (3)
Lung cancer
Patients undergoing thoracic surgery for suspected or confirmed lung cancer; including wedge resection, segmentectomy, lobectomy, bilobectomy or pneumonectomy. CTPVe will be modelled to predict postoperative lung function.
Emphysema
Patients undergoing assessment of emphysema/chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) for potential surgical intervention; including lung volume reduction surgery, endobronchial valve insertion or endobronchial coil insertion. CTPVe will be modelled to predict postoperative lung function.
Interstitial lung disease
Patients undergoing assessment or treatment of suspected or confirmed interstitial lung disease. CTPVe will be modelled to aid diagnosis of the subtype of interstitial lung disease confirmed by histological diagnosis.
Interventions
Non contrast computed tomography (CTPVe) scan during end inspiration and end expiration in supine position
Eligibility Criteria
The study population will be adults being assessed or treated in a hospital with a patient case mix and size typical of thoracic practice in England. As a tertiary referral centre patients will come from a wide geographical range and from both rural and urban settings.
You may qualify if:
- Patients aged 18 or over
- Undergoing assessment or treatment of parenchymal lung disease which involves CT scanning
- Able to understand the study information and provide written informed consent
You may not qualify if:
- Pregnancy
- Inability to follow breath hold instructions for CT scan
- Body size exceeding the capacity of CT scanner
- Previous chest wall resection
- Presence of implantable device that would cause artefacts on CT images including ICD, pacemaker, internal fixation of rib fracture, ventricular assist device, spinal rods/pedicle screws, shoulder replacement
