COPD in CT and X-rays ?

[deleted1139628]

hey guys. How are you? I'm currently a med student , but i plan on opening a free of charge COPD clinic . I just think those patients don't get enough treatment options to manage their life. I'm passionate about doing it , once i graduate and have the funds.

i Haven't been able to find chest CT results and Chest X-rays results that suggest COPD . If you have any CT/X-rays results, please please , let me know , i know it's probablty the oddest thread you've seen here , but i just want so badly to be in a place i can help this commuinity.

In my experience, COPD patients don't lack for resources. It's the bread and butter for pulmonologists.
