PG - 15119 LID - 10.1038/s41598-021-94596-5 [doi] LID - 15119 AB - To investigate the prevalence of nodular pulmonary ossifications (POs) in patients with honeycombing on ultra-high-resolution CT (UHRCT) and to compare the detectability of nodular POs between images reconstructed using the ultra-high-resolution setting (UHR-setting) and those using the conventional setting (C-setting) on UHRCT. Twenty patients with honeycombing in the lung were evaluated retrospectively. All patients underwent non-contrast-enhanced UHRCT. Images were reconstructed with UHR-setting (matrix, 2048 x 2048; slice thickness, 0.25 mm) and with C-setting (matrix size, 512 x 512; slice thickness, 0.5 mm). Two chest radiologists independently recorded the number of nodular POs (< 4 mm diameter) in each lung lobes. Each lobe was classified as one of the following five categories according to the number of POs: C0, none; C1, 1-4 POs; C2, 5-9 POs; C3, 10-49 POs; and C4, >/= 50 POs. The maximum CT values of the POs were measured and compared between the two settings. PO categories were significantly higher with UHR-setting than with C-setting (p < 0.001). Maximum CT values were significantly higher with UHR-setting than with C-setting (p < 0.001). Nodular POs were seen in 80% or more of patients with honeycombing and more easily detected in images reconstructed with UHR-setting than in those with C-setting. CI - (c) 2021. The Author(s).
