Three-dimensional mean CT attenuation value of pure and part-solid ground-glass lung nodules may predict invasiveness in early adenocarcinoma

Three-dimensional mean CT attenuation value of pure and part-solid ground-glass lung nodules may predict invasiveness in early adenocarcinoma

This study evaluated the relationship between three-dimensional (3D) mean computed tomography (CT) attenuation values of ground-glass nodules (GGN) and pathological invasiveness in early lung adenocarcinoma. The diagnostic accuracy of 3D CT attenuation values was compared with that of two-dimensiona...

Zusammenfassung:This study evaluated the relationship between three-dimensional (3D) mean computed tomography (CT) attenuation values of ground-glass nodules (GGN) and pathological invasiveness in early lung adenocarcinoma. The diagnostic accuracy of 3D CT attenuation values was compared with that of two-dimensional (2D) CT attenuation values and standardised uptake value on positron-emission tomography (PET). Surgical and radiological data from 96 pure or part-solid GGNs of
