Pneumothorax [PDF]

open access: yesRespiration, 2008
Pneumothorax represents a common clinical problem. An overview of relevant and updated information on epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management of spontaneous (primary and secondary), catamenial, and traumatic (iatrogenic and noniatrogenic) pneumothorax is given.

Pneumothorax

open access: yesTuberculosis and Respiratory Diseases, 2014
Pneumothorax-either spontaneous or iatrogenic-is commonly encountered in pulmonary medicine. While secondary pneumothorax is caused by an underlying pulmonary disease, the spontaneous type occurs in healthy individuals without obvious cause. The British Thoracic Society (BTS, 2010) and the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP, 2001) published the

Automatic Diagnosis of Pneumothorax from Chest Radiographs: A Systematic Literature Review [PDF]

open access: yesIEEE Access, vol. 9, pp. 145817-145839, 2021, 2020
Among various medical imaging tools, chest radiographs are the most important and widely used diagnostic tool for detection of thoracic pathologies. Research is being carried out in order to propose robust automatic diagnostic tool for detection of pathologies from chest radiographs.

Attention-based Saliency Maps Improve Interpretability of Pneumothorax Classification [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Purpose: To investigate chest radiograph (CXR) classification performance of vision transformers (ViT) and interpretability of attention-based saliency using the example of pneumothorax classification. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, ViTs were fine-tuned for lung disease classification using four public data sets: CheXpert, Chest ...

Kernel-based framework to estimate deformations of pneumothorax lung using relative position of anatomical landmarks [PDF]

open access: yesExpert Systems with Applications, 183(2021), 115288, 2021
In video-assisted thoracoscopic surgeries, successful procedures of nodule resection are highly dependent on the precise estimation of lung deformation between the inflated lung in the computed tomography (CT) images during preoperative planning and the deflated lung in the treatment views during surgery.

Leveraging Anatomical Constraints with Uncertainty for Pneumothorax Segmentation [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2023
Pneumothorax is a medical emergency caused by abnormal accumulation of air in the pleural space - the potential space between the lungs and chest wall. On 2D chest radiographs, pneumothorax occurs within the thoracic cavity and outside of the mediastinum and we refer to this area as "lung+ space". While deep learning (DL) has increasingly been utilized

The Genetics of Pneumothorax [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, 2019
A genetic influence on spontaneous pneumothoraces-those occurring without a traumatic or iatrogenic cause-is supported by several lines of evidence: 1) pneumothorax can cluster in families (i.e., familial spontaneous pneumothorax), 2) mutations in the FLCN gene have been found in both familial and sporadic cases, and 3) pneumothorax is a known ...

Spontaneous pneumothorax [PDF]

open access: yesMultidisciplinary Respiratory Medicine, 2011
Pneumothorax is defined as the presence of air in the pleural space due to: a) communication be- tween alveolar spaces and pleura; b) direct or indi- rect exchange of air between the atmosphere and the pleural space; or c) the presence of gas produc- ing organisms in the pleural space.

Spontaneous pneumothorax or no pneumothorax at all?

open access: yesBreathe, 2023
