We hypothesize that cannabis use in concomitant tobacco smokers is associated with alveoli destruction, airway inflammation and pulmonary vessel pruning as measured using computed tomography (CT) imaging, independent of tobacco smoking. Method and Materials: Participants from the Canadian cohort obstructive lung disease study were investigated. Cannabis smoking history was defined as the number of joints smoked per day multiplied by the number of years smoked (joint-years). CT images were acquired at full-inspiration and measurements included: low-attenuation-area under -950 HU (LAA950), airway wall thickness (AWT), and pulmonary blood volume in vessels with a cross-section area below 5mm2 (BV5) (VIDA Diagnostics). A multivariate ridge regression was used to assess the association for joint-years with LAA950, AWT, and BV5 adjusted by covariates (age, sex, BMI, CT model, tobacco pack-years, smoking status and years of education). The model with BV5 was also adjusted by total blood vessel volume. Results: A total of 364 cannabis and tobacco smokers were investigated. The smokers had a mean age of 59±7yrs, mean pack-years and joint-years was 31±22 and 14±24, respectively, and 74% were male; mean FEV1 and FEV1/FVC were 87±20%pred and 68±11%, respectively. Joint-years was associated with CT LAA950 (p<0.0001), AWT (p=0.001) and TBV (p=0.003) measurements, independent of tobacco pack-years. Conclusion: Cannabis use is associated with CT measures reflecting emphysema, airway inflammation and vascular pruning, independent of tobacco use.","PeriodicalId":34850,"journal":{"name":"Imaging","volume":"28 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136200553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The diagnostic criteria for LAC remain unclear and a variety of protocols are proposed. We compare likelihoods of detecting LAC on CT imaging dependent on the imaging acquisition protocol employed. Method:We retrospectively reviewed reports of CT scans performed to detect LAC over a 12-month period in a specialist severe asthma service by means of 2 CT manoeuvres; Dynamic(DE) and Forced Expiration(FE). Large airway collapse was defined as >/=70% reduction in cross sectional area at the trachea +/- main bronchi on expiration compared with end inspiration. Those who did not complete both expiratory CT manoeuvres and reports without indication of degree of collapse in % were excluded. Result:21 patients (n=19 female) out of a total of 105 undergoing CT were found to have LAC, with a mean age of 54.2±12.0 years and a mean BMI of 40.4± 6.8kg/m2 were found to have LAC. Of these, LAC was observed on both FE and DE in 7 cases, on FE only in 12 cases, and on DE only in 2 cases. Large airway collapse was detected in a significantly greater proportion of patients with FE 19(90%) than with DE 9(43%) (McNemar’s chi-square test, p=0.01).

Results: Lung parenchyma was evaluated by the percentage of opacity, opacity score and other relating values. In RA-ILD cases lower opacity percentage was detected compared to IPF and iNSIP cases (mean value of 10,04% vs 25,1% and 19,1% during inspiration in both lungs).

Endobronchial polarization sensitive optical coherence tomography (EB-PS-OCT) is a high resolution (10 μm), minimally invasive technique that detects collagen birefringence and has therefore the potential to detect and quantify pulmonary fibrosis. Aim: Investigate the ability of in-vivo EB-PS-OCT to quantify fibrosis in ILD. Methods: ILD patients underwent in-vivo EB-PS-OCT imaging of lung parenchyma prior to transbronchial cryo- or surgical lung biopsy. Asthma patients served as non-fibrotic control. Fibrosis was automatically quantified by assessing the mean birefringence area in EB-PS-OCT images of the alveolar compartment and compared to fibrotic content in HRCT and histology. Results: 19 patients were included (16 ILD; 3 asthma). In 49 out of 55 imaged segments EB-PS-OCT parenchymal birefringence was quantified, ranging from a mean fibrosis score of 2.54% (no to minimal fibrosis) to 21.01% (extensive fibrosis). EB-PS-OCT showed higher accuracy than HRCT in detecting fibrosis, using histology as reference standard. No adverse events occurred. Conclusion: In vivo EB-PS-OCT is a feasible, safe and minimally invasive imaging technique to detect and quantify pulmonary fibrosis. It could be used as an add-on bronchoscopic imaging technique to diagnosis and assess (progressive) fibrosis in ILD patients.","PeriodicalId":34850,"journal":{"name":"Imaging","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136201295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Aim: To determine the association between pulmonary artery volume on CT and mortality. Methods: The artery-vein phenotyping analysis (AVX) was performed using the AI-based lung quantification platform LungQ (Thirona, The Netherlands). AVX quantified total volume of small (diameter <2mm; AVXSA) and large (≥2mm; AVXLA) pulmonary arteries from inspiratory CT in 7903 participants in the COPDGene study, normalized for body height. Cox regression analysis was used to analyze associations between AVX scores and mortality.

Results: Average age was 60.1±9.0 years, 3594 (45.5%) subjects had COPD. AVXSA was 103.3±21.5 mm3/cm and AVXLA was 201.9±68.1 mm3/cm.

We hypothesize that deep learning tools may be able to estimate mPAP from dynamic pulse wave propagation images derived by PREFUL. Method:  92 (f=48, PHT=57) subjects underwent PREFUL and RHC. Per patient, pulse wave propagation images of coronal, central slice as well as the next ventral and dorsal location in the thorax were combined as input data. mPAP given by RHC was defined as target output data. Finally, a combination of three Denset-201 with one regression network was trained to realize the aforementioned mapping with 60 subjects, tested with 32 remaining cases. The correlation of the network’s final output with the mPAP from RHC was measured using Pearson’s Correlation.

Endobronchial optical coherence tomography (EB-OCT) generates in vivo real-time high resolution images of the airways. Polarization sensitive OCT (EB-PS-OCT) provides tissue-specific contrast that enables airway smooth muscle (ASM) detection and quantification. Aim: Assess ASM content with PS-OCT in healthy and diseased airways. Methods: In vivo OCT imaging was performed in healthy volunteers, asthma and fibrotic interstitial lung diseases (fILD) patients. Standard OCT imaging was combined with PS-OCT birefringence and optical axis determination to detect, segment and quantify ASM. Results: 24 airways were imaged from distal to proximal (650-1000 cross-sectional images per airway) in 2 healthy volunteers, 2 asthma and 2 fILD patients. Standard OCT shows separate airway wall layers. PS-OCT enabled ASM segmentation in healthy and diseased airways (asthma and fILD). Preliminary results show an increase in ASM in diseased airways compared to healthy controls (Figure). Conclusion: Endobronchial PS-OCT is a minimally invasive imaging technique to identify airway wall layers with detection and quantification of ASM mass in both healthy and diseased airways. Implication: Endobronchial PS-OCT airway imaging is a promising tool to investigate airway wall remodeling in a minimally invasive way over full-length airway segments.
