Objective We wanted to determine whether the amount and shape of the anterior
mediastinal fat in the patients suffering with usual interstitial pneumonia (UIP) or nonspecific …

Background: The mediastinum is composed primarily of fatty tissue that is surrounded by the
lungs bilaterally. There is a lack in the published literature in studying changes in …

Purpose: To tabulate underlying disease and to assess the clinical significance of CT-
diagnosed spontaneous pneumomediastinum. Materials and Methods: We retrospectively …

Purpose We evaluated the relation between the severity of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis
(IPF) and the incidence of pneumothorax on computed tomography (CT) images. Materials …

Patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) are at risk for a variety of acute pulmonary
complications, including pneumothorax and pneumomediastinum. Our aim was to describe …

OBJECTIVE. We investigated whether the lung volume determined on CT, especially the
volume of the normal lung, is correlated with mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) in …

Introduction: adipose tissue has been implicated in the pathophysiology of visceral fibrosis,
but this has not been studied in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Methods: we evaluated …

AIM: To investigate whether the predominant emphysema type is associated with the high
resolution computed tomography (HRCT) pattern of fibrosis in combined pulmonary fibrosis …

PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to analyze thin-section computed tomography
(CT) appearances of interstitial lung diseases before and at the time of detection of …

Purpose To quantify lesions in the subpleural lung region (SubPL) on computed tomography
(CT) images and to evaluate whether they are useful for detecting interstitial lung disease …
