Several software-based quantitative computed tomography (CT) analysis methods have been developed for assessing emphysema and interstitial lung disease. Although the texture classification method appeared to be more successful than the other methods, the software programs are not commercially available, to our knowledge. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the usefulness of a commercially available software program for quantitative CT analyses.
