Purpose To evaluate the association of pleural tags with visceral pleural invasion of non–
small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that does not abut the pleural surface. Materials and …

Objectives To evaluate the association between a sign and visceral pleural invasion (VPI) of
peripheral non–small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that does not appear touching the pleural …

Pleural involvement by a peripheral non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is an important
prognostic factor, but the accurate preoperative evaluation is sometimes difficult. We have …

Objective The aim of this study was to comprehensively analyze computed tomography
features to improve the diagnostic accuracy of visceral pleural invasion of peripheral non …

Purpose To analyze the incidence and CT patterns of visceral pleural invasion (VPI) in
adenocarcinomas on the basis of their CT presentation as solid or subsolid nodules …

Background (I) To categorize and quantitatively analyze pleural signs on CT of pulmonary
adenocarcinoma (≤ 3 cm);(II) to evaluate the association between pleural signs and …

Rationale and Objectives To evaluate the clinical utility of three-dimensional (3D) computed
tomography (CT) for predicting pleural invasion by peripheral lung cancer. Materials and …

Objective To evaluate the relevance of high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT)
findings and fluorine-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18 F-FDG) uptake for risk stratification of …

OBJECTIVE. The objective of our study was to determine whether visceral pleural invasion
(VPI) of T1-sized peripheral pulmonary adenocarcinomas manifesting as subsolid nodules …

Background Pathologic visceral pleural invasion (pVPI) leads to upstaging from T1 to T2.
However, it is unclear whether the CT features for pVPI can be reliably used as a clinical T2 …
