Özet

Objectives The aim was to investigate the discriminative value of a wide range of quantitative computed tomography (qCT) parameters in systemic sclerosis (SSc) patients with and without pulmonary fibrosis (PF) and their association with pulmonary function tests (PFTs) and visual fibrosis scores (VFS).
