Current status of CT in evaluating the progression and prognosis of GGNs of the lung
In recent years,with the continuous development of medical imaging technology,the detection rate of ground glass nodules(GGNs)has increased year by year,and has been widely concerned.GGNs are not only seen in benign diseases,but also are early manifestation of lung adenocarcinoma.Compared with solid nodules,GGNs have a variety of imaging manifestations and a different pace of development,which leads to a great controversy in clinical treatment.This paper evaluates the benign and malignant progression and prognosis of GGNs of the lung based on different CT imaging methods,and summarizes the malignant progression prediction of GGNs of the lung in imaging aspects,which is helpful for clinicians to make accurate judgments in the screening,follow-up,and later treatment of GGNs of the lung.
