Abstract
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) stands as a significant global health challenge, with its intricate pathophysiological manifestations often demanding advanced diagnostic strategies. The recent applications of artificial intelligence (AI) within the realm of medical imaging, especially in computed tomography, present a promising avenue for transformative changes in COPD diagnosis and management. This review delves deep into the capabilities and advancements of AI, particularly focusing on machine learning and deep learning, and their applications in COPD identification, staging, and imaging phenotypes. Emphasis is laid on the AI-powered insights into emphysema, airway dynamics, and vascular structures. The challenges linked with data intricacies and the integration of AI in the clinical landscape are discussed. Lastly, the review casts a forward-looking perspective, highlighting emerging innovations in AI for COPD imaging and the potential of interdisciplinary collaborations, hinting at a future where AI doesn't just support but pioneers breakthroughs in COPD care. Through this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state and future potential of AI in shaping the landscape of COPD diagnosis and management.
