Radiology, mainly computed tomography, has a fundamental role in diagnosis, staging and follow-up of lung adenocarcinoma, the most common type of pulmonary cancer. Within its broad spectrum of presentation, the pathological, clinical and morphological characteristics of this neoplasm allow, in an appropriate clinical context, to suggest certain histological subtypes among which are mucinous adenocarcinoma, lepidic growth adenocarcinoma or associated with cystic lung lesions. The objective of this review is to describe the pathologic, clinical and radiological features of those characteristic forms of lung carcinoma that can be diagnosed radiologically with fair accuracy.

- Lung ultrasound (LUS) is more effective than X-ray in identifying lung issues in COVID-19 pneumonia, but its long-term diagnostic value post-recovery is not well-established.
- *This multicenter study followed COVID-19 patients over 3 and 12 months post-discharge, using LUS and comparing the results with high-resolution CT scans.
- *Findings indicated that LUS had higher sensitivity and specificity in medium-term evaluations compared to X-ray, suggesting its potential for monitoring long-term lung health in COVID-19 survivors.
Introduction: There are no published studies assessing the evolution of combined determination of the lung diffusing capacity for both nitric oxide and carbon monoxide (DL and DL) 12 months after the discharge of patients with COVID-19 pneumonia.
Methods: Prospective cohort study which included patients who were assessed both 3 and 12 months after an episode of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia. Their clinical status, health condition, lung function testings (LFTs) results (spirometry, DL-DL analysis, and six-minute walk test), and chest X-ray/computed tomography scan images were compared.
Unlabelled: Three to four months after hospitalisation for COVID-19 pneumonia, the most frequently described alteration in respiratory function tests (RFTs) is decreased carbon monoxide transfer capacity (DL).
Methods: This is a prospective cohort study that included patients hospitalised because of SARS-CoV-2 pneumonia, three months after their discharge. A clinical evaluation, analytical parameters, chest X-ray, six-minute walk test, spirometry and DL-DL analysis were performed.
Introduction: There are no studies analyzing the relationship between emphysema and lung cancer (LC). With this aim and in order to make some comparisons between different clinical variables, we carried out the present study.
Methods: This is a case-control study, patients with COPD and LC being the cases and subjects with stable COPD being the controls.
