Computed Tomography-Based Centrilobular Emphysema Subtypes Relate with Pulmonary Function
INTRODUCTION Centrilobular emphysema (CLE) is recognized as low attenuation areas (LAA) with centrilobular pattern on high-resolution computed tomography (CT). However, several shapes of LAA are observed. Our preliminary study showed three types of LAA in CLE by CT-pathologic correlations. This study was performed to investigate whether the morphological features of LAA affect pulmonary functio...
متن کاملComputed Tomography Imaging findings in Chemical Warfare Victims with pulmonary Complications
Introduction: Data on imaging findings in pulmonary complications of chemical agents is scarce. The current study aimed to evaluate radiological findings of late onset pulmonary complications in chemical warfare victims (CWV) and to guide pulmonologists in diagnosis of these subjects. Materials and Methods: Ninety- three male CWV were enrolled in this prospective study, 20-25 years (mean=23...
متن کاملComment on “Computed Tomography Imaging Findings in Chemical Warfare Victims with Pulmonary Complications”
Dr.Mirsadraei and colleagues performed an interesting study about the lung HRCT findings in chemical warfare patients who suffering from long-term pulmonary complications. They found that air trapping and mosaic attenuation were the most common lung HRCT findings. Also they divided patients in different clinical entities according to the lung HRCT findings (Bronchiolitis Oblitrans, pulmonary fi...
متن کاملQuantification of pulmonary emphysema from lung computed tomography images.
A texture-based adaptive multiple feature method (AMFM) for evaluating pulmonary parenchyma from computed tomography (CT) images is described. This method incorporates multiple statistical and fractal texture features. The AMFM was compared to two previously published methods, namely, mean lung density (MLD) and the lowest fifth percentile of the histogram (HIST). First, the ability of these me...
متن کاملPulmonary Function after Adenotonsillectomy
Introduction Adenotonsillar hypertrophy is a common disorder among children which, without proper treatment, may lead to considerable problems. Although the consequences of this disorder have been studied in other articles, we decided to evaluate the changes in pulmonary function tests in these children after adenotonsillectomy, and the correlation between clinical and spirometric parameters. ...
