Recommendations regarding key aspects related to the diagnosis and pharmacological treatment of lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) were recently published. We now provide additional recommendations four specific questions LAM management pneumothoraces in patients with LAM.Systematic reviews performed then discussed by a multidisciplinary panel. For each intervention, panel considered its confidence estimated effects, balance desirable (i.e., benefits) undesirable harms burdens) consequences,...
Lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM) and multifocal micronodular pneumocyte hyperplasia (MMPH) produce cystic nodular disease, respectively, in the lungs of patients with tuberous sclerosis. The objective this study was to prospectively characterize prevalence, clinical presentation, genetic basis lung disease TSC. We performed genotyping computerized tomographic (CT) scanning chest on 23 asymptomatic women sclerosis complex (TSC). Cystic pulmonary parenchymal changes consistent LAM were found...
To retrospectively determine the imaging features of anomalous coronary arteries depicted at multi-detector row computed tomographic (CT) angiography in 18 patients seen four institutions.Eighteen underwent with a four- or 16-section CT unit by using retrospective electrocardiographic (ECG) gating after infusion 120-150 mL intravenous contrast material. Section thicknesses 0.8-3.0 mm were achieved during breath holding, and images reconstructed 50% overlap. Volumetric reconstructions...
To determine the range of growth rates stage I lung cancers prior to treatment by using volumetric measurement at serial chest computed tomographic (CT) examinations.The study population comprised 50 patients who underwent two CT examinations 25-day or greater intervals. Tumor craniocaudal length and cross-sectional diameters perimeters were used volumetrically model each tumor in three ways (spherical, elliptical, perimeter). Volumes compared determining Pearson correlation coefficients. By...
To determine how volume measurements of simulated and clinical lung tumors at standard computed tomographic (CT) window level settings vary with section width to derive apply compensatory equations.Spherical varying diameters were imaged CT widths, the images displayed on a workstation, cross-sectional area tumor each was measured by using elliptical perimeter methods, areas integrated compute volume. The actual volumes for differing widths compared, equations derived. applied...
Editor's Note.-RadioGraphics Update articles supplement or update information found in full-length previously published RadioGraphics. These updates, written by at least one author of the previous article, provide a brief synopsis that emphasizes important new such as technological advances, revised imaging protocols, clinical guidelines involving imaging, updated classification schemes.
From 1921 to 1990, vermiculite ore from Libby, Montana, was shipped worldwide for commercial and residential use. A 1980 study of a manufacturing facility using Libby the first demonstrate small but significant prevalence pleural chest radiographic changes associated with amphibole fibers contained in ore.This follow-up original cohort evaluated extent cumulative fiber exposure (CFE) 25 years after cessation exposure.From 513 workers, 431 (84%) were living available participation...
International experts recently characterized interstitial pneumonia with autoimmune features (IPAF) as a provisional diagnosis for patients lung disease who have characteristics of but do not meet criteria specific disease. We describe clinical IPAF and examine responses to mycophenolate therapy IPAF.This retrospective cohort included adult meeting European Respiratory Society/American Thoracic Society classification IPAF. Sociodemographic, clinical, pulmonary function test data were...
To assess how early pleural and/or parenchymal abnormalities consistent with asbestos exposure could be ascertained and to identify factors associated progression.Informed consent was obtained under an institutional review board-approved protocol. Multiple sequential chest radiographs between 1955 2004 in 84 workers exposed amphiboles vermiculite the town of Libby, Montana, were studied. A panel three NIOSH B readers reviewed each worker's longitudinal radiograph series reverse chronologic...
Objective: Evaluate the relationship between cumulative fiber exposure and high-resolution or conventional chest computed tomography (HRCT/CT) changes spirometry of workers with Libby amphibole asbestos exposure. Methods: Of original 1980 cohort (n = 513), 431 were living asked to participate. Images evaluated for localized pleural thickening (LPT), diffuse (DPT), parenchymal changes. Results: A total 306 participants provided either HRCT/CT scans 191) radiographs 115). 191 HRCT/CT, 52.9%...
Rationale: The Multicenter International Lymphangioleiomyomatosis Efficacy and Safety of Sirolimus (MILES) trial demonstrated that sirolimus stabilized lung function improved measures functional performance quality life in patients with lymphangioleiomyomatosis.The physiologic mechanisms these beneficial actions are incompletely understood.Objectives: To prospectively determine the longitudinal computed tomographic imaging correlates change MILES treated placebo or sirolimus. Methods:We...
Burnout is a psychological syndrome in response to chronic occupational stressors. The prevalence of burnout among medical professionals has been increasing, and recent studies have shown that radiologists are those affected. We investigated the assessed associated factors cardiothoracic radiologists.Society Thoracic Radiology members were invited complete an anonymous cross-sectional survey included adapted Maslach Inventory questions about demographics, work place characteristics,...
Missed lung cancer is an important medicolegal issue and the second leading cause for malpractice actions against radiologists. Contributing factors to overlooked can be ascribed observer performance, lesion characteristics, technical considerations. Of these, errors related performance are probably most important. does not necessarily constitute malpractice, but lesions of high conspicuity more likely associated with adverse legal outcome. Multiple strategies have been advocated reduce...
