Organizing pneumonia-like pattern in COVID-19.

Introduction: Organizing pneumonia (OP) is a radio-histologic pattern that forms in response to lung damage in patients with focal or diffuse lung injury. OP is frequently observed subsequent to viral-induced lung damage and is associated with a diverse range of clinical outcomes.

Material And Methods: We included 210 patients (mean age: 55.

CT-measured pulmonary artery diameter as an independent predictor of pulmonary hypertension in cystic fibrosis.

Purpose: The role of computed tomography (CT) scan, as a promising prognostic imaging modality in cystic fibrosis (CF), has been widely investigated, focusing on parenchymal abnormalities. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of thoracic vascular parameters on CT to detect pulmonary hypertension (PH).

Material And Methods: CF patients who contemporaneously underwent CT and echocardiography were retrospectively enrolled.
