Stage I lung adenocarcinoma: the value of quantitative CT in differentiating pathological subtypes and predicting growth of subsolid nodules

AbstractThe aim of this study was to investigate feasibility of quantitative computed tomography(CT) measurements in predicting invasiveness and growth of nodular ground glass opacities(nGGOs).A set of 203 patients (group A) with nGGOs that were confirmed stage-I adenocarcinomas and 79 patients (g
