The aim of this study is to investigate whether airway dimensions and lung densities assessed by computed tomography associate with pulmonary function in patients with sarcoidosis. CT scanning was performed in forty-three sarcoidosis patients, and lung densities were measured using in-house software. Mean and standard deviation of lung density, kurtosis and skewness of lung density histograms were calculated. Tracheal area and airway wall area/total airway area (WA%) of the right apical bronchus was also measured. Pulmonary function tests were performed on the same day. Increased standard deviation of lung density and decreased kurtosis and skewness of lung density histograms were all associated with decreased total lung capacity, vital capacity and diffusion capacity. Increased standard deviation of lung density was also associated with decreased %FEV1 and %PEF. There was a positive correlation between tracheal area corrected by body surface area and %PEF, and negative correlation between WA% and %PEF. Thus, in sarcoidosis, densitometry is a useful novel method for assessing the severity of pulmonary sarcoidosis, by quantifying parameters reflecting functional impairment.
