The Correlation of Brody High Resolution Computed Tomography Scoring System with Clinical Status and Pulmonary Function Test in Patients with Cystic Fibrosis
Background: To reduce the mortality and morbidity rates of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients, and to have an effective clinical management, it is important to monitor the progression of the disease. The aim of this study was to evaluate the progression of lung disease in CF patients by means of assessing the correlation of the CT scoring system with clinical status and pulmonary function test at th...
متن کاملHigh-resolution X-ray computed tomography of impactites
[1] High-resolution X-ray computed tomography (HRXCT) is a nondestructive method used to study the interiors of opaque solid objects. Here we present the results of a first application of the HRXCT method to imaging the interior of impactites, in particular, suevites (glass-bearing impact breccias) from the Bosumtwi (Ghana) and Ries (Germany) craters and a Muong Nong–type tektite from Thailand....

متن کاملChest High Resolution Computed Tomography Findings in Connective Tissue Diseases
BACKGROUND Lung disorders are important for prognosis of connective tissue disease (CTD). Thus, chest radiography, High Resolution Computed Tomography (HRCT) of the chest and ultrasonic echocardiogram are suggested after the diagnosis of these conditions. The purpose of this study was to evaluate chest HRCT findings in patients with CTD. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this descriptive cross-section...
متن کاملProgressive damage on high resolution computed tomography despite stable lung function in cystic fibrosis.
For effective clinical management of cystic fibrosis (CF) lung disease it is important to closely monitor the start and progression of lung damage. The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scoring systems and pulmonary function tests (PFT) to detect changes in lung disease. CF children (n=48) had two HRCT scans in combination with two PF...
