  1. FRI: Pearson correlation coefficients, only iVlobe at FRC and AT at FRC were calculated using Spearman. CF-CT: Spearman correlation coefficients. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001
  2. iVlobe lobar volume, siVaw specific airway volume, siVaww specific airway wall volume, siRaw specific airway resistance, AT air trapping, TBV total pulmonary blood volume corrected for lobar volume, BV10% percentage of blood vessels larger than 10 mm2, BV5_10% percentage of blood vessels between 5 and 10 mm2, BV5% percentage of blood vessels smaller than 5 mm2, BWT bronchial wall thickening
