The use of [F]FDG PET/CT as a biomarker in diffuse lung diseases is increasingly recognized. We investigated the correlation between [F]FDG uptake with histologic markers on lung biopsy of patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (fILD). We recruited 18 patients with fILD awaiting lung biopsy for [F]FDG PET/CT.

Material And Methods: This retrospective pilot study included consecutive patients with clinically suspected GBC. CT images, clinical, and histological or cytological data were retrieved from the database.
Article Synopsis
- Radiomics can extract hidden information from CT scans, helping to identify if colorectal cancer has already spread to the liver, which can change treatment plans and improve survival rates.
- A new radiomic signature was developed through texture analysis of CT images over 5 years to evaluate colorectal cancer patients for liver metastases.
- The study found that patients who later developed liver metastases had higher levels of hepatic heterogeneity, highlighting the potential of texture analysis in predicting metastasis even when initial scans appear clear.
Objective: To assess the prognostic performance of two quantitative CT (qCT) techniques in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) compared to established clinical measures of disease severity (GAP index).
Methods: Retrospective analysis of high-resolution CT scans for 59 patients (age 70.5 ± 8.
