Purpose: The aim was to evaluate computed tomography (CT)-measured pulmonary artery
diameter (PAD) and lung density as predictors of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in subjects
with systemic sclerosis (SSc). We compared these PAD values with normal values and
between SSc subgroups with PH and/or interstitial lung disease (ILD). We investigated
whether PAD predicts PH and whether lung densitometry, by using the 85th percentile
density value (Perc85) as a measure for ILD, can predict PH. Materials and Methods: PAD …
