No abstract
- Manual aspiration of a pneumothorax after CT-guided lung biopsy: outcomes and risk factors
CONCLUSION: Aspiration of pneumothorax after CT-PTLB can help reduce chest drain insertion in approximately 50% of patients with larger […]
- Utility of anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody screening in idiopathic interstitial lung disease
CONCLUSION: ANCA screening in patients with idiopathic ILD rarely yields positive results. These results support an individualized approach to ANCA […]
- Comparison of conventional chest x ray with a novel projection technique for ultra-low dose CT
CONCLUSION: Thoracic tomograms were found to be diagnostically superior to CXR for focal lung disease, at no increased radiation dose. The thoracic […]
- Screening for Myositis Antibodies in Idiopathic Interstitial Lung Disease
CONCLUSIONS: Screening for MA in patients with idiopathic ILD can contribute to a change in patient diagnosis, and may prevent invasive testing and […]
- Helical CT with variable target noise levels for dose reduction in chest, abdomen and pelvis CT
CONCLUSION: Contiguous helical scanning of the chest/abdomen/pelvis with variable target noise levels results in approximately 17% dose reduction if […]
- Utility of transthoracic needle biopsy after lung transplantation
The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic yield and complications of CT-guided transthoracic needle biopsy (TTNB) after lung […]
- Impact of Pretreatment Interstitial Lung Disease on Radiation Pneumonitis and Survival in Patients Treated With Lung Stereotactic Body Radiation Therapy (SBRT)
INTRODUCTION: The purpose of this study was to determine the impact of interstitial lung disease (ILD) on radiation pneumonitis (RP) and overall […]
- Changes of Emphysema Parameters over the Respiratory Cycle During Free Breathing: Preliminary Results Using Respiratory Gated 4D-CT
The purpose of this research was to evaluate respiratory gated CT of the lung in patients with COPD for analysis of parenchymal characteristics who […]
- Multi-dimensional scores to predict mortality in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis undergoing lung transplantation assessment
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with IPF assessed for LTx as well as in those actually listed, multi-dimensional scores predict mortality better than […]
- Protective Capnothorax During Transthoracic Needle Biopsy
CONCLUSION: This study suggests that protective iatrogenic capnothorax is a safe and effective technique during TTNB. The intrinsic properties and […]
- Detection of Early Tumor Response to Axitinib in Advanced Hepatocellular Carcinoma by Dynamic Contrast Enhanced Ultrasound
This study aimed to evaluate the utility of dynamic contrast-enhanced ultrasound (DCE-US) in measuring early tumor response of advanced […]
- Classification and Reporting of Late Radiographic Changes After Lung Stereotactic Body Radiotherapy: Proposing a New System
CONCLUSION: In a population of clinicians, this scale could be implemented to characterize evolving lung changes after SBRT, and had fair to moderate […]
- How influential is the duration of contrast material bolus injection in perfusion CT? evaluation in a swine model
CONCLUSION: Duration of contrast material bolus injection does not influence CT perfusion values substantially. The longer, clinically preferred […]
- Comparison of free breathing versus breath-hold in perfusion imaging using dynamic volume CT
CONCLUSION: Shallow breathing during dynamic volume CT scanning reduces the overall demand for motion correction and thus may be beneficial in […]
