Subpleural injection of gelatin sponge particles to reduce pneumothorax incidence in CT-guided lung biopsies: a retrospective single-center case-control study
Chest Imaging 5 min.
Percutaneous trans-thoracic lung biopsy (PTLB) has become a pivotal technique for obtaining lung tissue samples, presenting a practical alternative to other methods. However, a significant challenge to this procedure is the frequent occurrence of postoperative pneumothorax, affecting between 8.6% and...
Association between the extent of intrapulmonary spread on chest CT and false-negative results of T-SPOT.TB in pulmonary tuberculosis: a retrospective study
Chest Imaging 4 min.
Approximately 10.6 million people were newly diagnosed with active tuberculosis (TB) in 2022, up from 10.3 million in 2021 and 10.0 million in 2020, continuing the reversal of a downward trend that had been sustained up to 2020 [1]. The increasing trend is thought to be caused by disruptions to essential...
Deep learning radiomics for the prediction of epidermal growth factor receptor mutation status based on MRI in brain metastasis from lung adenocarcinoma patients
Chest Imaging 6 min.
Lung cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, with lung adenocarcinoma (LADC) accounting for approximately 50% of all cases [1]. Brain metastasis (BM) occurs in about 30% of lung cancer patients during the course of the disease, often leading to poor prognosis....
Performance of a point-of-care ultrasound platform for artificial intelligence-enabled assessment of pulmonary B-lines
Chest Imaging 4 min.
The European Society of Cardiology guidelines for heart failure currently recommend the use of chest X-ray and lung ultrasound (LUS) to confirm heart failure and investigate other potential causes of breathlessness [1]. LUS is an excellent tool for assessing pulmonary edema and interstitial lung syndrome...
