Management of chronic empyema with unexpandable lung in poor surgical risk patients using an empyema tube

Lung India, 2016
Objectives: High preoperative risk precludes decortication and other surgical interventions in some patients with chronic empyema. We manage such patients by converting the chest tube into an "empyema tube," cutting the tube near the skin and securing ...

Effect of Interval Between Neoadjuvant Immunochemotherapy and Radical Resection of Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer: A Multicenter, Retrospective Cohort Study

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
The optimal timing of surgery after neoadjuvant immunochemotherapy (NICT) for locally advanced non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) remains unclear. In this retrospective investigation, the impact of time interval on outcome was assessed among NSCLC patients who completed NICT before undergoing radical resection.

Impact of 1024‐Matrix Size on Perforating Artery Visualisation in Cerebral Computed Tomography Angiography Using a 64‐Slice CT Scanner

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study investigated whether using a larger image matrix (1024 × 1024 pixels instead of 512 × 512) improves the visibility of tiny brain arteries on CT scans performed with standard 64‐slice scanners. While physical image quality measurements remained unchanged, the larger matrix provided finer digital sampling of blood vessel structures, resulting ...

Radiation Dose Optimisation Through Artificial Intelligence (AI)‐based Auto‐Thorax Collimation

Journal of Medical Radiation Sciences, EarlyView.
This study evaluated AI‐based Auto‐Thorax Collimation (ATC) for radiation dose optimisation in posteroanterior chest radiography compared with manual collimation. ATC demonstrated tighter lateral collimation and reduced inter‐operator variability while maintaining comparable repeat rates.
