High resolution computed tomography and classification of children with interstitial lung diseases.
High resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was used to classify children with interstitial lung diseases (ILD). Sixty children with ILD underwent HRCT in supine position under free-respiratory conditions during scanning. Children under 5 years old were sedated with chloral hydrate and the scanning scope was from the lung apex to the diaphragm. In children older than 5 years old, scans were obta...
متن کاملHigh-resolution computed tomography patterns of diffuse interstitial lung disease with clinical and pathological correlation.
High-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) is the radiological imaging technique best suited to revealing changes in lung structure. Various HRCT findings, taken together, can represent typical patterns. These patterns, in conjunction with the anatomical distribution of findings and with clinical data, can narrow the differential diagnosis of diffuse interstitial lung disease and, in many cases...
متن کاملRole of High Resolution Computed Tomography in the Diagnosis of Interstitial Diseases of the Lungs
Background: Interstitial lung diseases are a diverse group of diseases that predominantly affect the lung interstitium and share similar clinical and radiological manifestations. Most patients have nonspecific respiratory complaints and the first suggestion of the disease is usually by a chest radiograph. However many patients of interstitial lung disease can have a normal chest radiogram; in t...
متن کاملThe role of high resolution computed tomography in the diagnosis of interstitial lung disease.
Until recently the chest radiograph has been the only imaging technique used in the assessment of patients with suspected diffuse lung disease. In this context the chest radiograph is less than ideal. Problems arise with both false negative and false positive results. It is well established that the chest radiograph may appear entirely normal in up to 10% of patients with biopsy proved diffuse ...
متن کاملAutomated classification of usual interstitial pneumonia using regional volumetric texture analysis in high-resolution computed tomography.
OBJECTIVES We propose a novel computational approach for the automated classification of classic versus atypical usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP). MATERIALS AND METHODS Thirty-three patients with UIP were enrolled in this study. They were classified as classic versus atypical UIP by a consensus of 2 thoracic radiologists with more than 15 years of experience using the American Thoracic Soci...
