Prevalence and prognostic meaning of interstitial lung abnormalities in remote CT scans of patients with interstitial lung disease treated with antifibrotic therapy
CONCLUSIONS: Fibrotic ILAs are frequent in remote scans of patients with clinically relevant ILD, long before they require antifibrotics. Findings of traction bronchiectasis and honeycombing in the earliest scans, even in asymptomatic patients, are related to mortality and progression later on.PMID:38642956 | DOI:10.1016/j.rxeng.2023.03.006 (Source: Radiologia)

Usefulness of thoracic ultrasound in the assessment of removal of indwelling pleural catheter in patients with malignant pleural effusion
CONCLUSIONS: Thoracic ultrasound performed by an expert pulmonologist is a valid and simple tool to determine spontaneous pleurodesis and remove a non-functioning IPC, which would make it possible to avoid chest CT in those cases in which lung reexpansion is observed with ultrasonography.PMID:38642957 | DOI:10.1016/j.rxeng.2023.04.008 (Source: Radiologia)

Analysis of invasive diagnostic techniques for pathological confirmation of pleural mesothelioma
CONCLUSIONS: In our review, pleural biopsy performed with image guidance was the test that had the highest diagnostic yield, so it should be considered as the initial invasive test for the study of mesothelioma.PMID:38642958 | DOI:10.1016/j.rxeng.2023.03.005 (Source: Radiologia)

Target sign in COVID-19, radiological interpretation and diagnostic contribution of digital thoracic tomosynthesis
CONCLUSIONS: TS in COVID-19 predominates in peripheral and declining regions and can be multiple. Pulmonary thromboembolism was detected in one case. It occurs in young people, frequently with pleuritic pain and does not worsen the prognosis. DTT detects more than 80 % of TS than radiography.PMID:38642959 | DOI:10.1016/j.rxeng.2023.07.005 (Source: Radiologia)

Utility of artificial intelligence for detection of pneumothorax on chest radiopgraphs done after transthoracic percutaneous transthoracic biopsy guided by computed tomography
CONCLUSIONS: The software has detected 100% of cases of pneumothorax in the postbiopsy chest radiographs. A potential use of this software could be as a prioritisation tool, allowing radiologists not to read immediately (or even not to read) chest radiographs classified as non-pathological by the software, with the confidence that there are no pathological cases.PMID:38642960 | DOI:10.1016/j.rxeng.2023.07.006 (Source: Radiologia)

Persistent pulmonary abnormalities after 18 months of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia
CONCLUSION: Persistent interstitial lung abnormalities are seen on HRCT for a subset of patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Seventy percent of these patients suffered a slight decrease in DLCO.PMID:38642961 | DOI:10.1016/j.rxeng.2023.10.002 (Source: Radiologia)

Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura with air cystic component
We present an uncommon case of a solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura with the appearance of an air-containing cystic mass. We discuss the differential diagnosis through the imaging findings, the hypothetical origins of the air component, and the possible relationship between the air component and the aggressivity of the tumor.PMID:38642962 | DOI:10.1016/j.rxeng.2022.03.008 (Source: Radiologia)
