Purpose : To evaluate the usefulness of the CT angiogram sign for solid lung masses on dynamic contrast-enhanced, thin-slice CT.Methods : Between January 2010 and March 2014, 300 patients’ lung masses were surgically resected at our institution. Of these patients, we excluded 177 patients because the CT was not obtained at our institution ; ground-glass opacity component was present ; or neoadjuvant chemotherapy was administered. The CT images were obtained in both arterial and delayed phases at 1.25-mm and 5-mm sections. We evaluated presence of the CT angiogram sign, CT value, and presence of hypo-enhanced areas.Results : Included 123 patients were 89 men and 34 women, with median age of 72 years (range, 38-86). Neither the presence of the CT angiogram sign nor contrast-enhanced pattern had significant correlation with pathologic findings.Conclusions : In our study, the CT angiogram sign was not useful in evaluating solid lung masses on dynamic contrast-enhanced, thin-slice CT. |
