“…This study examines whether the cumulative size distribution of LAA clusters, defined with thresholds of the 15th, 25th, and 35th percentiles of a CT density histogram instead of the fixed-threshold of − 950 HU, exhibits a fractal property and whether its fractal dimension (D’15, D’25, and D’35, respectively) provides additional structural information in emphysematous lungs that is difficult to detect with the conventional − 950-HU-based fractal dimension (D950). METHODS: Chest inspiratory CT scans and pulmonary functions were cross-sectionally examined in 170 COPD subjects. …”

“…RESULTS: Haemoptysis was found to have the greatest diagnostic value for lung cancer, diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) 6.39 (3.32–12.28), followed by dyspnoea 2.73 (1.54–4.85) then cough 2.64 (1.24–5.64) and lastly chest pain 2.02 (0.88–4.60). The use of symptom-based diagnosis to accurately diagnose lung cancer cases from non-cases was determined using the summary receiver operating characteristic (SROC) curve, the area under the curve (AUC) was consistently above 0.6 for each of the symptoms described, indicating reasonable discriminatory power. …”
