Thin-Section CT Findings of Arc-Welders' Pneumoconiosis
OBJECTIVE To describe the thin-section CT findings of arc-welders' pneumoconiosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eighty-five arc-welders with a three to 30 (mean, 15)- year history of exposure underwent thin-section CT scanning. The extent of abnormalities detected was correlated with the severity of dyspnea and pulmonary function tests. For comparison, images of 43 smoking males (mean 25 pack-year) ...
متن کاملMalignant versus benign nodules at CT screening for lung cancer: comparison of thin-section CT findings.
PURPOSE To evaluate thin-section computed tomographic (CT) characteristics of malignant nodules on the basis of overall appearance (pure ground-glass opacity [GGO], mixed GGO, or solid opacity) in comparison with the appearance of benign nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS Institutional review board approval and patient consent were obtained. Follow-up diagnostic CT was performed in 747 suspicious...
متن کاملIntrapulmonary lymph nodes: thin-section CT findings, pathological findings, and CT differential diagnosis from pulmonary metastatic nodules.
We compared the thin-section CT findings of 11 intrapulmonary lymph nodes with pathological findings and evaluated the possibility of CT scan differential diagnosis from pulmonary metastatic nodules. First, we retrospectively reviewed CT scan and pathological findings of intrapulmonary lymph nodes. The median size of these nodules was 6.2 mm. The nodules appeared round (n=3) or angular (n=8) in...
متن کاملRadiological abnormalities in electric-arc welders.
Chest radiographs of 661 British electric-arc welders have been examined by three film readers experienced in the radiology of pneumoconiosis. About 7% of the welders showed signs of small rounded opacities of category 0/1 or greater. No definite evidence of large opacities (Progressive Massive Fibrosis) was seen. The prevalence of chest abnormalities other than pneumoconiosis was 7%. A clear a...
متن کاملVolumetric thin-section CT: evaluation of pulmonaryinterlobar fissures.
PURPOSE We aimed to perform an imaging analysis of interlobar fissures and their variations using thin-section computed tomography (CT). METHODS Volumetric thin-section CT scanning was performed in 208 subjects. Interlobar fissures were observed on axial images, and reconstructed coronal and sagittal images were observed by multiplanar reformatting (MPR). The vessel distributions were verifie...
