Differences in Texture Analysis Parameters Between Active Alveolitis and Lung Fibrosis in Chest CT of Patients with Systemic Sclerosis: A Feasibility Study
2017, Academic RadiologyCitation Excerpt :Additionally, the NGLDM considering its contrast (differences in gray values of neighboring voxels) and entropy (the presence of more or less heterogeneity of neighbors) is expected to reflect the microarchitecture of lung tissue abnormalities that are expected to be found histologically (18). Corresponding to HRCT findings, GGO mostly represents cellular infiltration pattern consisting of interstitial inflammation, which uniformly involves the alveolar interstitium of the entire lung (8). Therefore, a more uniform distribution of textural features is expected in this form compared to the more patchy distributed fibrosis accompanied by remodeling of the lung architecture (8).
Pulmonary involvement in systemic sclerosis
2016, Autoimmunity ReviewsA comparative study of honeycombing on high resolution computed tomography with histologic lung remodeling in explants with usual interstitial pneumonia
2015, Pathology Research and PracticeCitation Excerpt :The current study showed that histologic bronchiolectasis was extensive in lungs that were assessed as the UIP pattern and those with extensive honeycombing on HRCT [12,13]. Despite the abundant literature describing traction “bronchiectasis” in fibrotic lung diseases radiologically [16–18], bronchi(ol)ectasis is not typically mentioned as a histologic feature of UIP [3,19–23], although Schettino et al. [24] determined that it was present in 5% of the area of wedge biopsies of UIP. In that study, there was a correlation between linear densities and histologic bronchiolectasis, but not with HRCT-defined bronchiectasis [24].
