Malignant 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 کاملLung cancer with scattered consolidation: detection of new independent radiological category of peripheral lung cancer on thin-section computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES Ground glass opacity (GGO) on thin-section computed tomography (CT) has been reported to be a favourable prognostic marker in lung cancer, and the size or area of GGO is commonly used for preoperative evaluation. However, it can sometimes be difficult to evaluate the status of GGO. METHODS A retrospective study was conducted on 572 consecutive patients with resected lung cancer of ...
متن کاملSurgically curable peripheral lung carcinoma: correlation of thin-section CT findings with histologic prognostic factors and survival.
STUDY OBJECTIVES To define characteristics of surgically curable, early cancers of the lung, we retrospectively studied relationships between thin-section CT (TS-CT) scans, pathologic features, and outcome data in 287 patients with resected small-diameter (< 20 mm) peripheral lung carcinoma. Cases included 260 adenocarcinomas, 16 squamous cell carcinomas, 6 small cell carcinomas, 3 large cell c...
متن کاملDependent Lung Opacity at Thin-Section CT: Evaluation by Spirometrically-Gated CT of the Influence of Lung Volume
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the influence of lung volume on dependent lung opacity seen at thin-section CT. MATERIALS AND METHODS In thirteen healthy volunteers, thin-section CT scans were performed at three levels (upper, mid, and lower portion of the lung) and at different lung volumes (10, 30, 50, and 100% vital capacity), using spirometric gated CT. Using a three-point scale, two radiologists d...
متن کاملTriage of Limited Versus Extensive Disease on 18F-FDG PET/CT Scan in Small Cell lung Cancer
Objective(s): Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive neuroendocrine carcinoma, which accounts for 10-15% of pulmonary cancers and exhibits early metastatic spread. This study aimed to determine the added value of 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging in tumor, node, and metastasis (TNM) staging of SCLC, compared to the conventional computed tomography (CT) scan and its potential role as a prognosticat...
