Purpose: The aim of this study was to analyse and quantify the prevalence of six comorbidities from lung cancer screening (LCS) on computed tomography (CT) scans of patients from developing countries.
Methods: For this retrospective study, low-dose CT scans (n=775) were examined from patients who underwent LCS in a tertiary hospital between 2016 and 2020. An age- and sex-matched control group was obtained for comparison (n=370).
Objective: To describe the performance of CT and MRI in the assessment of the progression of interstitial lung disease (ILD) associated with SSc and demonstrate the correlations of MRI with pulmonary function test (PFT) and CT scores.
Methods: This prospective single-centre observational study included patients with SSc diagnoses, and magnetic resonance (MR) images were assessed visually using the Scleroderma Lung Study (SLS) I system. Differences in the median scores were assessed with Student's t-test and the Wilcoxon rank-sum test.
