Lung canceris the most common cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with over 1.8 million lung cancer deaths yearly. While cigarette smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, there has been an increase in nonsmoking related lung cancers, suggesting additional genetic and environmental interact...
This paper aims to discuss the role and the accuracy of positron emission tomography (PET) and to evaluate computed tomography (CT) contrast enhancement in diagnosing the nature of lung nodules...
Contrast-Enhanced CT Texture Analysis: a New Set of Predictive Factors for Small Cell Lung CancerBiomarkerCTSmall cell lung cancerSurvivalTexture analysisThe purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between x-ray computed tomography (CT) texture features of small cell lung cancer (...
In The Danish Lung Cancer Screening Trial, 4104 smokers and previous smokers from 2004 to 2006 were randomized to either screening with annual low dose CT scans for 5 years or no screening. A history of cigarette smoking of at least 20 pack years was required. All participants have annual l...
Objectives: To examine whether dynamic contrast-enhanced CT (DCE-CT) could be used to characterise and safely distinguish between malignant and benign lung tumours in patients with suspected lung cancer. Methods: Using a quantitative approach to DCE-CT, two separate sets of regions of interest (RO...
Objective To investigate the application value of contrast-enhanced multislice spiral CT(MSCT) in judging the feasibility of excision of lung cancer. Methods The contrast-enhanced MSCT images of 68 patients with non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) diagnosed by operation or biopsy in our hospital from...

Current studies indicate that fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/ computed tomography ([18F]FDG PET/CT) is the most accurate imaging modality for the detection of relapsed locally advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after curatively intended chemoradiotherapy. To this day...
Lung cancer continues to increase steadily around the world and remains the most common causes of death in cancer patients (1, 2). Patients with unresectable lung cancer are primarily treated with chemotherapy with/without radiation therapy and are regularly followed with computed tomography (CT) sca...
the left lung mass was hidden in the overlapping images of heart and great vessels,easily leading to misdiagnosis and missed diagnosis.【Conclusion】 "Broom sign" is a early diagnosis sign to left upper lobe of the lung cancer,and fully understanding the sign can reduce the rate of ...
