Article Abstract
This study aims to evaluate chest computed tomography (CT) findings in hospital patients with primary varicella pneumonia (PVP). We retrospectively analyzed CT images of 77 PVP patients using 3D Slicer, an open-source software, to model lesions and lungs. This retrospective cohort study was approved by the Institutional Review Board (Ethical Committee, Renmin Hospital, Hubei University of Medicine, Shiyan, China) and waived the requirement for written informed consent. The left lung was more frequently and severely affected in PVP, with significant differences between the 2 groups in CT involvement percentage of each lung region, except for total lung inflation. Group A showed higher median percentages of lung collapse compared to Group B. The extent of left lung involvement is a critical predictor of emphysema in PVP patients, highlighting the importance of also monitoring the right lung for more severe cases. Lower emphysema levels correspond to more collapsed and infiltrated lung segments, suggesting a more severe clinical presentation.

Background: Animal studies show ovarian follicle damage and mutagenesis after ionizing radiation exposure. Computed tomography (CT) imaging is commonly done outside pregnancy, but risks to future pregnancy are unknown.
Objective: To evaluate the risk for spontaneous pregnancy loss and congenital anomalies in offspring of women exposed to CT ionizing radiation before conception.

Purpose: Bronchiolar adenoma (BA) is a rare benign pulmonary neoplasm originating from the bronchial mucosal epithelium and mimics lung adenocarcinoma (LAC) both radiographically and microscopically. This study aimed to develop a nomogram for distinguishing BA from LAC by integrating clinical characteristics and artificial intelligence (AI)-derived histogram parameters across two medical centers.
Methods: This retrospective study included 215 patients with diagnoses confirmed by postoperative pathology from two medical centers.

Importance: Recent longitudinal studies in patients with unruptured intracranial aneurysms (UIAs) suggested that aneurysm wall enhancement (AWE) on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) predicts growth and rupture. However, because these studies were limited by small sample size and short follow-up duration, it remains unclear whether this radiological biomarker has predictive value for UIA instability.
Objective: To determine the 4-year risk of instability of UIAs with AWE and investigate whether AWE is an independent predictor of UIA instability.
