To evaluate the effect of the deep learning model reconstruction (DLM) method in terms of image quality and diagnostic agreement in low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) for interstitial lung disease (ILD), 193 patients who underwent LDCT for suspected...
BACKGROUND: In diseases such as interstitial lung diseases (ILDs), patient diagnosis relies on diagnostic analysis of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and biopsies. Immunological BALF analysis includes differentiation of leukocytes by standard cyt...
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop a computed tomography (CT)-based deep learning model for assessing the severity of patients with connective tissue disease (CTD)-associated interstitial lung disease (ILD).
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The effect of different computed tomography (CT) reconstruction kernels on the quantification of interstitial lung disease (ILD) has not been clearly demonstrated. The study aimed to investigate the effect of reconstruction ...
OBJECTIVES: There is a need for CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) lung segmentation models. Clinical translation requires radiological evaluation of model outputs, understanding of limitations, and identification of failure points. This multicentre stu...
BACKGROUND: Because chest CT scan has largely supplanted surgical lung biopsy for diagnosing most cases of interstitial lung disease (ILD), tools to standardize CT scan interpretation are urgently needed.
RATIONALE: Non-invasive diagnosis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) involves identification of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) pattern by computed tomography (CT) and exclusion of other known etiologies of interstitial lung disease (ILD). How...
Interstitial lung diseases (ILDs) are complex and heterogeneous diseases. The use of traditional diagnostic classification in ILD can lead to suboptimal management, which is worsened by not considering the molecular pathways, biological complexity, a...
Radiologic pattern has been shown to predict survival in patients with fibrosing interstitial lung disease. The additional prognostic value of fibrosis extent by quantitative computed tomography (CT) is unknown. We hypothesized that fibrosis extent...
