Pulmonary ground-glass nodules: increase in mass as an early indicator of growth.
PURPOSE To compare manual measurements of diameter, volume, and mass of pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) to establish which method is best for identifying malignant GGNs by determining change across time. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this ethics committee-approved retrospective study, baseline and follow-up CT examinations of 52 GGNs detected in a lung cancer screening trial were included, r...
متن کاملMalignant Pure Pulmonary Ground-Glass Opacity Nodules: Prognostic Implications
OBJECTIVE This study was designed to evaluate follow-up results in terms of patient prognosis for malignant pulmonary nodules depicted as pure ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesion observed at high-resolution CT (HRCT). MATERIALS AND METHODS Surgical removal for malignant GGO nodules was accomplished in 58 patients (26 men, 32 women; mean age, 57 years; age range, 29-78 years). Patient prognoses ...
متن کاملGenetic features of pulmonary adenocarcinoma presenting with ground-glass nodules: the differences between nodules with and without growth.
BACKGROUND Pulmonary ground-glass nodules (GGNs) include both malignant and benign lesions. Some GGNs become larger, whereas others remain unchanged for years. We have previously reported that smoking history and large diameters are predictors for growth. However, the genetic differences among GGNs remain unclear. PATIENTS AND METHODS GGNs with ground-glass component of ≥50% on a thin-section...
متن کاملAdvances in intelligent diagnosis methods for pulmonary ground-glass opacity nodules
Pulmonary nodule is one of the important lesions of lung cancer, mainly divided into two categories of solid nodules and ground glass nodules. The improvement of diagnosis of lung cancer has significant clinical significance, which could be realized by machine learning techniques. At present, there have been a lot of researches focusing on solid nodules. But the research on ground glass nodules...
متن کاملComputer-aided volumetry of pulmonary nodules exhibiting ground-glass opacity at MDCT.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this study was to investigate the accuracy and reproducibility of results acquired with computer-aided volumetry software during MDCT of pulmonary nodules exhibiting ground-glass opacity. MATERIALS AND METHODS To evaluate the accuracy of computer-aided volumetry software, we performed thin-section helical CT of a chest phantom that included simulated 3-, 5-, 8-, 10-, ...
