BACKGROUND: Although mammographic screening is useful for detecting early breast cancer, some tumors are detected in the interval between examinations. This study attempted to characterize fully two different manners. METHODS: Our utilized a case-control design and involved cohort of women undergoing within defined population health maintenance organization (the Group Health Cooperative Puget Sound). Women were classified as having "interval" or " interval-detected" cancers (n = 150) if...
<h3>Background</h3> Recent studies have suggested that non-definitive patterns on high-resolution CT (HRCT) scan provide sufficient diagnostic specificity to forgo surgical lung biopsy in the diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The objective this study was determine test characteristics HRCT for identifying histopathological usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). <h3>Methods</h3> Patients with biopsy-proven disease (ILD) and scans were identified from two academic ILD centres....
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical impact a higher spatial resolution, full field-of-view investigational photon-counting detector computed tomography (PCD-CT) on radiologist confidence in imaging findings and diagnosis usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) compared with conventional energy-integrating CT (EID-CT).Patients suspected lung disease were scanned PCD-CT system after informed consent clinically indicated EID-CT. In 2 sessions, 3 thoracic radiologists blinded history...

Purpose: Differentiating between systemic sclerosis-related interstitial lung disease (SSc-ILD) and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is important because of the differences in workup, prognosis, treatment. However, there much overlap appearance these 2 entities on high-resolution computed tomography. We propose that inflammation and/or focally or disproportionately involving bilateral anterolateral upper lobes posterosuperior lower [“Four Corners” Sign (FCS)] specific for SSc-ILD....
Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability computer-aided detection (CAD) and human readers detect pulmonary nodules ≥5 mm using 100 kV ultra–low-dose computed tomography (ULDCT) utilizing a tin filter. Materials Methods: After informed consent, 55 patients prospectively underwent standard-dose chest CT (SDCT) 120 followed by ULDCT kV/tin. Reference were identified thoracic radiologist SDCT. Four radiologists marked detected on SDCT examinations dedicated computer...
Background There is a wide variation in radiation dose levels that can be used with chest CT order to detect indeterminate pulmonary nodules. Purpose To compare the performance of lower-radiation-dose routine detection nodules 5 mm or greater. Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, projection data from 83 routine-dose examinations performed patients (120 kV, 70 quality reference mAs [QRM]) were collected between November 2013 April 2014. Reference identified by two nonreader...
Emphysema is most commonly associated with smoking but also occurs in hypersensitivity pneumonitis (HP). The aim of this study was to further explore relationship. A retrospective, computer-assisted search performed identify patients HP seen at Mayo Clinic Rochester, Minnesota, from January 1997 through February 2014. Demographic, clinical, and imaging features were analyzed. Patients excluded if they had a history 10 pack-years or more. Twelve (9 males) computed tomographic evidence...
The aim of this study is to evaluate the efficacy chest computed tomography (CT) predict pathological stage thymic epithelial tumours (TET) using recently introduced tumour, node and metastasis (TNM) staging with comparison modified Masaoka staging.
Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess whether magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) characteristics can distinguish benign from malignant part-solid pulmonary nodules and predict aggressiveness latter. We also sought compare MRI-derived parameters with morphologic physiological values derived conventional examinations such as computed tomography positron emission tomography/computed tomography. Materials Methods: This an institutional review board–approved pilot 28 participants (23 women,...
Background: Lung involvement in both acute and chronic Q fever is not well described with only a few reported cases of pseudotumor or pulmonary fibrosis fever. The aim this study was to better understand the manifestations
There are limited data regarding the surgical management of primary pulmonary artery sarcomas (PPAS) because their rarity and complicated diagnostic history. The objective this study was to analyze our institution’s long-term outcomes for PPAS in absence a care pathway. From May 1997 June 2013, 8 patients (mean age 60.6 ± 11.8 years; range, 40-73 5 women 3 men) underwent intervention at institution. most common computed tomography finding luminal filling defect obstructing (PA), without...
