Résumé
Disorders of the fractality of an airway tree and a vessel tree have been studied in pulmonary diseases. Here we successfully applied Mishima's D to the bronchial minimal inner cross-sectional area (iCSA) measured in multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) images of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and non-COPD smokers (
