Summary
This study tests whether using a special scan (VQDI) to pick the worst-functioning lung area for valve placement leads to better breathing and quality of life than the usual CT-based method. About 285 people with severe emphysema will be randomly assigned to one of two selection strategies. Participants will receive standard valve treatment and be followed for 12 months to compare outcomes.
