Materials and Methods: Thirteen patients (9 females and 4 males; age, 9 to 59 years; mean age, 34.5 years) were included in the ...
Chest magnetic resonance imaging: a protocol suggestion
Hochhegger,Bruno; Souza,Vinícius Valério Silveira de; Marchiori,Edson; Irion,Klaus Loureiro; Souza Jr.,Arthur Soares; Elias Junior,JorgeAbstract In the recent years, with the development of ultrafast sequences, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been established as a valuable diagnostic modality in body imaging. Because of improvements in speed and image quality, MRI is now ready for routine clinical use also in the study of pulmonary diseases. The main advantage of MRI of the lungs is its unique combination of morphological and functional as...
Organizing pneumonia: chest HRCT findings
Faria,Igor Murad; Zanetti,Gláucia; Barreto,Miriam Menna; Rodrigues,Rosana Souza; Araujo-Neto,Cesar Augusto; Silva,Jorge Luiz Pereira eOBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of HRCT findings and their distribution in the lung parenchyma of patients with organizing pneumonia. METHODS: This was a retrospective review of the HRCT scans of 36 adult patients (26 females and 10 males) with biopsy-proven organizing pneumonia. The patients were between 19 and 82 years of age (mean age, 56.2 years). The HRCT images were evaluated by two independent obse...
Cocaine-induced pulmonary changes: HRCT findings
Almeida,Renata Rocha de; Zanetti,Gláucia; Souza Jr.,Arthur Soares; Souza,Luciana Soares de; Silva,Jorge Luiz Pereira e; Escuissato,Dante LuizAbstractObjective: To evaluate HRCT scans of the chest in 22 patients with cocaine-induced pulmonary disease.Methods: We included patients between 19 and 52 years of age. The HRCT scans were evaluated by two radiologists independently, discordant results being resolved by consensus. The inclusion criterion was an HRCT scan showing abnormalities that were temporally related to cocaine use, with no other apparent...
