Extensive thin-section CT abnormalities indicative of fibroproliferative changes were independently predictive of poor prognosis in patients with a clinically early stage of ARDS.

The presence of a smooth contour, round shape, and capsule is highly suggestive of a type A tumor. Foci of low signal intensity in the mass on T2-weighted images and mediastinal lymphadenopathy are highly suggestive of thymic carcinomas.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
