Using a Low Attenuation Area Threshold on CT to Identify High-risk COPD Patients in a Multi-center Study: Opportunities for Early Intervention and Risk Reduction

Avignat S. Patel, Nutchapon Xanthavanij, R B Deshpande, Joseph Khoory et autres

Abstract Rationale: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and lung cancer are major causes of morbidity and mortality. The low attenuation area at -950 Hounsfield units (%LAA-950) on CT scans quantifies emphysema severity, with levels between 1-5% linked to higher mortality and cancer …

Assessing Interstitial Lung Abnormalities With a DL-IQ-UIP Classifier and LTA Algorithms: Links to Mortality, Cancer, All-cause and Pneumonia Hospitalization

Achint Patel, Parloop Bhatt, Joseph Khoory, Nutchapon Xanthavanij et autres

Abstract Rationale: The widespread adoption of low-dose-CT (LDCT) for lung cancer screening has created opportunities to identify undiagnosed interstitial lung disease (ILD) through finding interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA). ILA are frequently present, but often under-recognized, in these high-risk populations. ILA are associated …

Evaluating %LAA-950 Thresholds for Optimizing Lung Cancer Screening Frequency in Emphysema Patients: Limitations and Considerations

T. D’Amico, Carla Lamb, Víctor Pinto-Plata, Shawn M. Regis et autres

Abstract Rationale Emphysema, quantified by the percentage of low attenuation area at -950 Hounsfield units (%LAA-950) on CT imaging, has a well-documented association with an elevated risk of lung cancer. Identifying patients at a low risk of lung cancer within two years …

Using Quantified Coronary Artery Calcification Scores on CT Lung Screening to Identify Populations for Early Intervention and Risk Reduction

Rushi Deshpande, Vinicius Vaz, Nutchapon Xanthavanij, C. Aramayo et autres

Abstract Rationale: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Elevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) levels are common among individuals eligible for CT lung screening (CTLS), Agatston scores >400 indicate high CAD risk. Identifying CAC on CTLS offers …

Interstitial lung abnormalities in a large clinical lung cancer screening cohort: association with mortality and ILD diagnosis

Avignat S. Patel, Ezra R. Miller, Shawn M. Regis, Gary M. Hunninghake et autres

BACKGROUND: Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILA) are CT findings suggestive of interstitial lung disease in individuals without a prior diagnosis or suspicion of ILD. Previous studies have demonstrated that ILA are associated with clinically significant outcomes including mortality. The aim of this study …
