Achest X-rayor a high-resolutioncomputerized tomographyscan (an HRCT scan) may be taken. An HRCT scan is often taken because it provides more detail than a chest X-ray. It is beneficial in detecting emphysema. A pulmonary function test should be used because it detects and assesses the sev...
Abstract:Advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a significant cause of morbidity. Treatment options beyond conventional medical therapies are limited to a minority of patients. Lung volume reduction surgery (LVRS) although effective in selected subgroups of patients is not commonly under...

A chest radiograph and CT scan shows the presence of a “tree-in-bud” appearance (which refers to airway obstruction in radiologic terms), which is another strong indicator of airway obstruction and subsequent bronchiectasis. The accuracy levels of high-resolution CT (HRCT) scans are very high ...
Evidence demonstrating the presence of pleural-based and basilar honeycomb changes on a high-resolution computed tomographic (HRCT) scan of the chest is strongly correlated with the presence of usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) on surgical lung biopsy; this had led to HRCT becoming the primary ...
There is a wide spectrum of bacterial and fungal infections that can develop in a patient with COVID-19 infection, due to underlying co-morbidities, nosocomial infections, or ventilator-associated pneumonia. COVID-19 related fungal lung co-infections has been attributed to pathophysiologic processes ...
What is the significance of the discovery that was made in southern Germany?It is thought to demonstrate that birds evolved from dinosaurs.
HRDLis a scanning, coherent, pulsed Doppler lidar designed, built, and operated by NOAA/ESRL for atmospheric boundary layer research (Grund et al. TheHRDLscan sequences consisted of azimuth (conical) scans at three elevation angles (Fig. ...
Chest radiograph and/or high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) chest scan was performed. Results Over the study course, 61 children with cancer were admitted: 42 (68.9%) had acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), 4 (6.5%) had lymphoma, and 15 patients had other malignancy. Fifteen were ...
