美国华盛顿大学医学中心的研究人员发现,相对于组织活检,使用高分辨率的CT扫描对无蜂窝状的间质性肺炎进行成像,其特发性肺纤维化(IPF)的阳性预测率能够达到94%,而高分辨率CT图像上有明确的蜂窝状者,其阳性预测值能达到97%。这一发现可能会使临床医生对IPF的诊断更具包容性和准确性,研究人员表示,在老年人群体中,肺活检取样具有相当大的风险,尤其在许多高分辨率
Researchers at the University of Washington Medical Center found that the positive predictive rate of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) was comparable to tissue biopsy imaging of non-cellular interstitial pneumonitis using a high-resolution CT scan 94%, while high-resolution CT images have clear honeycombs, the positive predictive value can reach 97%. This finding may make clinicians more inclusive and accurate in diagnosing IPF, and researchers say there is considerable risk of lung biopsy sampling in the elderly population, especially in many high-resolution
