The aim of this study was to investigate the pathogenesis of lung ground-glass opacity (GGO) and the diagnostic value of computed tomography scan for lung GGO. Computed tomography (CT) images of 106 lung GGO cases were analyzed retrospectively, and the type, location, size, structure, boundaries and surrounding lung fields were evaluated. There were 12 cases of GGO with a diameter <1.0 cm, 36 cases with diameter of 1.0-1.5 cm, 25 cases with diameter of 1.6-2.0 cm, 19 cases with diameter of 2.0…

Pixel-based analysis of pulmonary changes on CT lung images due to COVID-19 pneumonia
Objectives: Computed tomography (CT) plays a complementary role in the diagnosis of the pneumonia-burden of COVID-19 disease. However, the low contrast of areas of inflammation on CT images, areas of…
Chest CT performance and features of COVID-19 in the region of Abu Dhabi, UAE: a single institute study
TLDR
The commonest HRCT findings in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia were peripheral, posterior, bilateral, multilobe rounded ground-glass opacities, and the performance of HRCT scan can vary depending on multiple factors.
Chest CT features of COVID-19 in the region of Abu Dhabi, UAE- A single institute study
TLDR
The commonest HRCT findings in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia were peripheral, posterior, bilateral, multilobe rounded ground glass opacities, using RT-PCR as a standard of reference.
Accuracy of chest computed tomography and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction in diagnosis of 2019 novel coronavirus disease; a systematic review and meta-analysis
TLDR
Considering the results, in order to diagnose COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019), it is recommended to initially performing chest CT to rule out the uninfected people and perform serial RT-PCR to confirm the disease.
From Radiological Manifestations to Pulmonary Pathogenesis of COVID-19: A Bench to Bedside Review
TLDR
It is suggested that the dominant pattern of computed tomography is consistent with limited pneumonia, followed by interstitial pneumonitis and organizing pneumonia.
Peripheral blood leucocyte telomere length is associated with progression of interstitial lung disease in systemic sclerosis
TLDR
It is suggested that telomere dysfunction may be associated with SSc-ILD progression and that PBL-TL measurement may be useful for stratifying risk for SSc -ILD progression.
Considerations for the Surgical Management of Thoracic Cancers During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Rational Strategies for Thoracic Surgeons
TLDR
This review is aimed to discuss the influence of COVID-19 on thoracic surgical practice, prevention of nosocomial transmission during the pandemic, and propose modifications to the standard practices in the surgical management of different thorACic cancer.
COVID-19: A Review on Molecular Basis, Pathogenic Mechanisms, Therapeutic Aspects and Future Projections
TLDR
The present review aims at bringing together the coherent and peer reviewed literature about the SARS-CoV-2 and its close relatives and try to understand its infection patterns and reconstruct its pathogenic mechanisms with anecdotes on diagnosis and future directions.

CT diagnosis and differential diagnosis of pulmonary ground-glass opacity
TLDR
GGO is a nonspecific finding on chest CT and may be seen in various diseases, close linkage with clinical history, observation and analysis of characteristics of ground-glass opacity in their range of distribution,locations of appearance,shapes,associated images and dynamic changes can narrow the range of diagnostic possibilities.
Importance of ground-glass attenuation in chronic diffuse infiltrative lung disease: pathologic-CT correlation.
TLDR
In patients with chronic diffuse infiltrative lung disease, areas of ground-glass attenuation not associated with traction bronchiectasis or bronchiolectasis are a reliable indicator of inflammation.
Progression of Focal Pure Ground-Glass Opacity Detected by Low-Dose Helical Computed Tomography Screening for Lung Cancer
TLDR
The pGGOs of lung cancer nodules do not only increase in size or density, but may also decrease rapidly or slowly with the appearance of solid components.
Management of Multiple Pure Ground-Glass Opacity Lesions in Patients with Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma
TLDR
Clinical characteristics and long-term outcome of multiple pure ground-glass opacity (GGO) lesions detected in patients undergoing pulmonary resection for bronchioloalveolar carcinoma are evaluated and close follow-up using CT scans represents an alternative to surgical resection.
Investigation of High-Resolution CT Findings in Bronchioloalveolar Carcinoma
TLDR
If three signs were shown on HRCT among the nodule peripheral distribution, bubble like attenuation, ground glass opacity and pleural tails, it should be diagnosed as solitary nodular BAC, which should suggest a diagnosis of DBAC.
High-resolution CT analysis of small peripheral lung adenocarcinomas revealed on screening helical CT.
TLDR
Small peripheral lung adenocarcinomas shown on CT exhibit four high-resolution CT patterns that corresponded to the histopathologic findings of different tumor growth patterns.
Ground-glass opacity of the lung parenchyma: a guide to analysis with high-resolution CT.
TLDR
This pictorial essay illustrates the pathologic basis of ground-glass opacity and provides a guide to the differential diagnosis of the disorders that can produce this appearance.
Correlation between computed tomographic findings, bronchioloalveolar carcinoma component, and biologic behavior of small-sized lung adenocarcinomas.
Management of ground-glass opacities: should all pulmonary lesions with ground-glass opacity be surgically resected?
TLDR
It remains unclear whether all pulmonary lesions with GGO should be surgically resected or whether lesions without changes may not require resection, and future studies on the genetic differences between GGOs with growth and those without growth will help establish an appropriate management algorithm.
Diagnostic value of computed tomography scanning in differentiating malignant from benign solitary pulmonary nodules: a meta-analysis
TLDR
The results indicate that CT scanning has relatively high sensitivity and moderate specificity for the diagnosis of SPNs, and given the low cost and growing prevalence of the technology, CT scanning should be recommended as the initial test for the evaluation ofSPNs.
