Article Synopsis
- Interstitial lung abnormalities (ILAs) are incidental findings on CT scans that may indicate early stages of interstitial lung disease, but data on their prevalence in routine clinical practice is limited.
- A study reviewed CT scans from patients aged 50 and older at a tertiary hospital and found that ILAs were present in 1.7% of scanned patients, with a significant number being underreported in original clinical reports.
- The presence of fibrotic ILAs significantly increased the risk of respiratory-related mortality, highlighting the importance of recognizing and reporting these abnormalities in clinical settings.
: Aims of the study were to explore outcomes and toxicities of chemotherapy-immunotherapy (CT-IT) for patients (pts) with metastatic nonsquamous non-small-cell lung cancer (mNSCLC) in a real-world population. Clinical data of 26 pts with mNSCLC treated with CT-IT at our institution from January 2020 to January 2021 were collected retrospectively. Median follow-up time was 7.

The radiographic diagnosis of most fractures and dislocations poses little difficulty to radiologists: however, occasionally these injuries are quite subtle or even impossible to detect on radiographs. Missed diagnoses of fracture potentially have important consequences for patients, clinicians, and radiologists.
