The widespread utilization of chest CT scans has increased the importance of the proper evaluation of incidentally found lung nodules. The primary goal in the evaluation of these nodules is to ...

the Early Lung Cancer Action Project (ELCAP), and extensions like New York-ELCAP and International-ELCAP, as well as the NELSON trial, have primarily focused on semi-solid and solid nodules. This ...

Objective: To develop and validate the model for predicting benign and malignant ground-glass nodules (GGNs) based on the whole-lung baseline CT features deriving from deep learning and radiomics.

We selected 433 subjects from the original NLST data and invited professional physicians to annotate the regions of interest (ROI) of lung nodules, creating a cross-modal spatiotemporal CT dataset ...

Computed tomography (CT) can detect lung nodules that are much smaller than those that can be picked up on chest X-rays, as well as nodules that are difficult to see on chest X-rays due to location.

The aim of this paper was to verify whether there is a correlation between the iMVD and the vascular morphology of ground glass nodules (GGNs). A total of 109 patients with pulmonary GGN were ...

A repeat percutaneous biopsy or a surgical biopsy was performed in 20 patients (14.4%) who had adequate pulmonary reserve ... similar in patients with small nodules and in patients with large ...

163.com Background Traditional electromagnetic navigation bronchoscopy (ENB) is a real-time image-guided system and used with thick bronchoscopes for the diagnosis of peripheral pulmonary nodules ...

BOSTON, Massachusetts (WBZ) — Patients with lung nodules often have to undergo several procedures including biopsy and multiple surgeries, but a Boston hospital is offering a new approach that ...

Feb. 6, 2025 — Despite new medication, cystic fibrosis often leads to permanent lung damage. Researchers have discovered that the disease causes changes in the immune system early in life ...

Lung diseases are some of the most common medical conditions in the world. Tens of millions of people have lung disease in the U.S. alone. Smoking, infections, and genes cause most lung diseases.

For example, if a person has smaller lung nodules, a biopsy may be too risky and difficult to justify. However, when it is medically necessary, a biopsy can shape an individual’s outlook and ...
