Incidence and features of pulmonary track nodules after CT-guided lung biopsy with track sealing using gelatin sponge slurry
Chest Imaging 4 min.
The most frequent complication of CT-guided lung biopsy is pneumothorax, which may, in some cases, require chest tube insertion, leading to prolonged hospital stay and additional costs [1, 2–3]. Track sealing (TS), which consists in injecting a sealant material in the pulmonary track while removing...
FDG-avid pulmonary mucous gland adenoma mimicking lung cancer on 18 F-FDG PET/CT: a rare case report and literature review
Chest Imaging 4 min.
Pulmonary mucous gland adenoma (MGA) is an exceedingly rare benign tumor of the lung epithelium [1], originating from the larger airway mucosa’s glands that secrete mucus [2]. The majority of cases are centrally located and arise from the bronchus, with only a few occurring in peripheral airways....
Feasibility of lung ultrasound for locating bronchial blockers in pediatric thoracic surgery: a retrospective analysis
Chest Imaging 4 min.
Bronchial blockers (BBs) play a critical role in thoracic surgery by enabling precise lung isolation during procedures, ensuring optimal surgical exposure and minimizing intraoperative complications [1]. Their flexibility in achieving selective one-lung ventilation enhances patient safety, particularly...
Integration of intratumoral and peritumoral CT radiomic features with machine learning algorithms for predicting induction therapy response in locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer
Chest Imaging 5 min.
Lung cancer is the most prevalent malignant tumor worldwide, with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounting for 80-85% of cases [1]. At diagnosis, approximately 25% of NSCLC patients present with locally advanced disease (Locally Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer, LA-NSCLC), characterized by local...
A combined model based on lung CT imaging and clinical characteristics for the diagnosis of AIDS with infection of Talaromyces marneffei
Chest Imaging 3 min.
Talaromyces marneffei(TM) is a genus of Penicillium, a conditional pathogenic fungus with strong geographical distribution characteristics. It is mainly prevalent in Southeast Asia and southern China, and mainly affects people with low immunity and defects. It can spread throughout...
