Doctors initially diagnosed her with bacterial pneumonia, after chest X-rays showed "ground glass opacities" in her lungs. These are hazy areas that show up on lung scans, indicating damage caused ...

We propose a technology for detecting the ground-glass opacity on computed tomography images of the lungs based on the analysis of groups of textural features. The urgency of the problem is determined ...

NEW RESEARCH has linked significantly improved outcomes in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) with the presence of ground-glass opacities (GGO) rather than pure-solid nodules on CT lung ...

Ground-glass opacity, often observed on CT scans, represents areas of partial lung consolidation or infiltration without obscuring the underlying structures. While major GGO components have been ...

Summary Background Although segmentectomy is a widely used surgical procedure, lobectomy is the standard procedure for resectable non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC). This study aimed to evaluate the ...
