Abstract Objectives To evaluate the inter-rater agreement of chest X-ray (CXR) findings in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and to determine value initial CXR along with demographic, clinical, laboratory data at emergency department (ED) presentation for predicting mortality need ventilatory support. Methods A total 340 COVID-19 patients who underwent ED setting (March 1–13, 2020) were retrospectively included. Two reviewers independently assessed abnormalities, including ground-glass...

A new coronavirus (severe acute respiratory syndrome 2, SARS-CoV-2) is contaminating the world; it has originated from China and been infecting people since December 2019.1 Like other viruses, SARS-CoV-2 harbors in human cells results different degrees of cellular damage. The rapid diffusion brutal effect this virus have caused to be rapidly ranked as a global threat, currently known disease (COVID-19)2 defined pandemic by World Health Organization on March 11, 2020. clinical presentation...

Abstract Introduction: Sarcoidosis is considered a T-helper (Th) 1 related disease, but transition from Th1 to Th2 pathway activation has been postulated in sarcoidosis-associated pulmonary fibrosis (SAPF). Fraction of exhaled nitric oxide (FENO) marker airway inflammation, alveolar concentration (CANO) can be measured assess inflammation the periphery lung. The aim this study whether CANO biomarker SAPF or active sarcoidosis. 
Methods: In single-center retrospective study, we...

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a known risk factor for cardiovascular (CV) events and mortality but not yet routinely evaluated in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT)-based lung cancer screening (LCS). The present analysis explored the capacity of fully automated CAC scoring to predict 12-year Multicentric Italian Lung Detection (MILD) LCS trial. study included 2239 volunteers MILD trial who underwent baseline LDCT from September 2005 January 2011, with median follow-up 190 months. score...

Long-term pulmonary sequelae in COVID-19 patients are currently under investigation worldwide. Potential relationships between blood sampling and functional radiological findings crucial to guide the follow-up. In this study, we collected evaluated clinical status, namely symptoms patients’ reported outcome, function tests (PFT), laboratory tests, at 3- 12-months post-discharge admitted 25 February 2 May 2020, who survived severe pneumonia. A history of chronic disease or COVID-19-unrelated...

Background: Structured reporting (SR) in radiology is becoming necessary and has recently been recognized by major scientific societies. This study aimed to build CT-based structured reports for lung cancer during the staging phase, order improve communication between radiologists, members of multidisciplinary team patients. Materials Methods: A panel expert Italian Society Medical Interventional Radiology, was established. modified Delphi exercise used structural report assess level...

Abstract Purpose Chest imaging modalities play a key role for the management of patient with coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Unfortunately, there is no consensus on optimal chest approach in evaluation patients COVID-19 pneumonia, and radiology departments tend to use different approaches. Thus, main objective this survey was assess how have been used during phases first wave Italy, which diagnostic technique reporting system would preferred based experience gained pandemic.

Background The management of subsolid nodules (SSNs) in lung cancer screening (LCS) is still a topic debate, with no current uniform strategy to deal these lesions at risk overdiagnosis and overtreatment. BioMILD LCS trial has implemented prospective conservative approach for SSNs, managing annual low-dose computed tomography nonsolid (NSNs) part-solid (PSNs) solid component <5 mm, regardless the size component. present study aims determine (LC) detection survival volunteers SSNs....

Abstract Purpose: To uncover the underpinnings of acquired resistance (AR) to immunotherapy (IO), we determined whether distinctive clinico-pathological, radiomic and peripheral blood (PB) immune-inflammatory features reflect oligo- systemic (sys)-AR in advanced NSCLC patients undergoing immune checkpoints inhibitors. Experimental Design: On 105 consecutive IO-treated NSCLC, PB immunophenotypes, cytokines CT-derived (RFs), extracted from primary merged metastatic lesions, were prospectively...
