AbstractEmphysema-like-change of lung is one aspect of lung morbidity in children after congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). This study aims to evaluate if the extent of reduced lung density can be quantified through pediatric chest CT examinations, if side differences are present and if emphysema-like tissue is more prominent after CDH than in controls. Thirty-seven chest CT scans of CDH patients (mean age 4.5 ± 4.0 years) were analyzed semi-automatically and compared to an age-matched control group. Emphysema-like-change was defined as areas of lung density lower than − 950 HU in percentage (low attenuating volume, LAV). A p-value lower than 0.05 was regarded as statistically significant. Hypoattenuating lung tissue was more frequently present in the ipsilateral lung than the contralateral side (LAV 12.6% vs. 5.7%; p < 0.0001). While neither ipsilateral nor contralateral lung volume differed between CDH and control (p > 0.05), LAV in ipsilateral (p = 0.0002), but not in contralateral lung (p = 0.54), was higher in CDH than control. It is feasible to quantify emphysema-like-change in pediatric patients after CDH. In the ipsilateral lung, low-density areas are much more frequently present both in comparison to contralateral and to controls. Especially the ratio of LAV ipsilateral/contralateral seems promising as a quantitative parameter in the follow-up after CDH.
