Core Tip Phenotyping emphysematous patients radio-logically allow physicians to diagnose and deliver tai-lored and targeted therapies that are not possible with spirometry. When patients are divided into chronic bronchitis or emphysema on computed tomography (CT), they have significantly different clinical features and spirometry, demonstrating its ability to characterise phenotypic differences. CT offers accurate mapping and measurement of emphysema whereas magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide functional informa-tion relating to ventilation and perfusion. This unique feature of MRI can help prognosticate patients in whom surgery is being considered. CT and MRI have both been sufficiently validated clinically and pathologically.
