Interstitial lung abnormalities linked to respiratory disease risk

AuntMinnie

CT imaging shows that severe acute respiratory disease events can be caused by quantitative interstitial abnormalities (QIA) -- that is, small irregularities that don't necessarily meet diagnostic criteria for advanced pulmonary diseases but show up on CT exams over time, a study published April 30 in Radiology has reported.

Letter to the Editor: “Comparison of diagnostic performance of the ACR and Kwak TIRADS applying the ACR TIRADS’ size thresholds for FNA”

European Radiology

In this article, the authors showed the modified Kwak-TIRADS incorporating the size thresholds of the ACR-TIRADS seen higher diagnostic performance and a lower unnecessary FNA rate than the original Kwak-TIRADS, which they believed was caused by the ACR-TIRADS’s higher threshold for FNA. The frequency of events (i.e. vs 73.6%, 64.1%
