The purpose of this study is to describe the main chest radiological features (CXR) COVID-19 and correlate them with clinical outcome.This a retrospective involving patients clinical-epidemiological suspect infection, who performed CXRs at emergency department (ED) our University Hospital from March 1 31, 2020. All RT-PCR nasopharyngeal throat swab, CXR ED data. results were considered reference standard. final outcome was expressed as discharged or hospitalized into medicine intensive care...
Abstract Objective The aim of this study was to identify the main CT features that may help in distinguishing a progression interstitial lung disease (ILD) secondary SSc from COVID-19 pneumonia. Methods This multicentric included 22 international readers grouped into radiologist group (RADs) and non-radiologist (nRADs). A total 99 patients, 52 with 47 SSc-ILD, were study. Results Fibrosis inside focal ground-glass opacities (GGOs) upper lobes; fibrosis lower lobe GGOs; reticulations lobes...
Abstract Objectives The aim of this single-centre, observational, retrospective study is to find a correlation using Radiomics between the analysis CT texture features primary lesion neuroendocrine (NET) lung cancer subtypes (typical and atypical carcinoids, large small cell carcinoma), Ki-67 index presence lymph nodal mediastinal metastases. Methods Twenty-seven patients (11 males 16 females, aged 48 81 years old—average age 70,4 years) with histological diagnosis pulmonary NET known status...
The aims of our study are: (1) to estimate admission chest X-ray (CXR) accuracy during the descending phase pandemic; (2) identify specific CXR findings strictly associated with COVID-19 infection; and (3) correlate lung involvement patients' outcome. We prospectively evaluated 327 patients accessed institute Italian pandemic (April 2020). For each were searched ground glass opacification (GGO), consolidation (CO), reticular-nodular opacities (RNO), nodules, excavations, pneumothorax,...
Smoking is the main risk factor for lung cancer (LC), which leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Independent randomized controlled trials, governmental and inter-governmental task forces, meta-analyses established that LC screening (LCS) with chest low dose computed tomography (LDCT) decreases mortality in smokers former smokers, compared to no-screening, especially women. Accordingly, several Italian initiatives are offering LCS by LDCT smoking cessation about 10,000 high-risk...
The association between MPO-ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV) and interstitial lung disease (ILD) has been well established. Pulmonary fibrosis may coexist with, follow, or even precede the diagnosis of AAV, its presence adversely affects prognosis. optimal approach to investigating ANCA in patients with ILD remains a subject ongoing debate. Here we aim describe presentation progression MPO-ANCA ILD. We conducted retrospective evaluation cohort individuals diagnosed ILD, without accompanying...

Abstract Purpose Cerebrovascular disease (CVD) is considered a major risk factor for fatal outcome in COVID-19. We aimed to evaluate the possible association between computed tomography (CT) signs of chronic CVD and mortality infected patients. Materials methods performed double-blind retrospective evaluation cerebral CT scans 83 COVID-19 patients looking CVD. developed rapid visual score, named CVD-CT, which summarized presence parietal calcifications dolichosis, with or without ectasia,...
The aim is to find a correlation between texture features extracted from neuroendocrine (NET) lung cancer subtypes, both Ki-67 index and the presence of lymph-nodal mediastinal metastases detected while using different computer tomography (CT) scanners.Sixty patients with confirmed pulmonary NET histological diagnosis, known status metastases, were included. After subdivision primary lesions in baseline acquisition venous phase, 107 radiomic first higher orders extracted. Spearman's matrix...
COPD is a heterogeneous disorder whose assessment going to be increasingly multidimensional. Grading systems such as BODE (Body-Mass Index, Obstruction, Dyspnea, Exercise), mBODE (BODE modified in grading of walked distance), ADO (Age, Obstruction) are proposed assess severity and outcome. Computed tomography (CT) deemed reflect lung pathologic changes. We studied the relationship multidimensional (MGS) with clinically determined phenotypes CT density. Seventy-two patients underwent clinical...
Guidelines recommend chest radiography (CR) in the workup of suspected acute aortic syndromes (AASs) if pretest clinical probability is low. However, diagnostic impact CR integration for rule-in and rule-out AASs unknown.We performed a secondary analysis ADvISED multicenter study. Emergency department outpatients were eligible an AAS was clinically suspected. Clinical defined with dissection detection risk score (ADD-RS). evaluated blindly by radiologist, who judged on mediastinum...
