The implementation of low-dose chest CT for lung screening presents a crucial opportunity
to advance lung cancer care through early detection and interception. In addition, millions of …

Background Screening with low‐dose computed tomography (LDCT) is an efficient way to
detect lung cancer at an earlier stage, but has a high false‐positive rate. Several pulmonary …

Background To assess relative safety and diagnostic performance of low-and standard-dose
computed tomography (CT)-guided biopsy for pulmonary nodules (PNs). Materials and …

Results Overall, 41 patients underwent HW localization for 42 LNs, while 53 patients
underwent IG localization for 55 LNs in the respective groups. The respective rates of …

Objective An acute type A aortic dissection (AAAD) is a critical emergency and remains one
of the most challenging diseases in cardiothoracic surgery. The existence of a pericardial …

Purpose This study was designed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of computed
tomography (CT)-guided biopsy for small lung nodules (SLNs)(≤ 20 mm) and to assess …

Objective Malignancy prediction models for pulmonary nodules are most accurate when
used within nodules similar to those in which they were developed. This study was to …

Background Accurate evaluation of pulmonary nodule malignancy is important for lung
cancer management. This current study aimed to develop risk models for small solid and …

Background: Non-smokers account for a large proportion of lung cancer patients, especially
in Asia, but the attention paid to them is limited compared with smokers. In non-smokers …

Background The ability of lung cancer screening to manage pulmonary nodules was limited
because of the high false‐positive rate in the current mainstream screening method, low …
