Comment 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 کاملComparison between conventional interrupted high-resolution CT and volume multidetector CT acquisition in the assessment of bronchiectasis.
The aim of this study was to determine whether there is superior diagnostic accuracy for the detection and exclusion of bronchiectasis using 16-slice CT of the chest (1 mm) compared with conventional high-resolution CT (HRCT) of the chest (10 mm). A prospective study was carried out in patients who were referred for chest CT by a chest physician for the investigation of bronchiectasis over a 1-...
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 کاملRelationship between fibroblastic foci profusion and high resolution CT morphology in fibrotic lung disease
BACKGROUND Fibroblastic foci profusion on histopathology and severity of traction bronchiectasis on highresolution computed tomography (HRCT) have been shown to be predictors of mortality in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between fibroblastic foci (FF) profusion and HRCT patterns in patients with a histopathologic dia...
متن کاملAssessment and investigation of adults with bronchiectasis
The diagnosis of bronchiectasis is made on the basis of highresolution computed tomography (HRCT) scan findings. A diagnosis of bronchiectasis should be considered in all patients with persistent cough productive of sputum, where another clear diagnosis has not been made. This includes patients with an initial diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease or severe asthma. Once bronchiecta...
