Pulmonary nodules and the CT halo sign.
Abstract
PURPOSE: To determine whether the "halo sign" at computed tomography (CT) could be used to differentiate hemorrhagic from nonhemorrhagic pulmonary nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS: CT scans of 12 patients with hemorrhagic pulmonary nodules and of a control group of 10 patients with nonhemorrhagic pulmonary nodules were randomized and reviewed by two chest radiologists. Nodules were considered hemorrhagic if a surrounding halo of ground-glass attenuation was present. RESULTS: Nodules were correctly identified as either hemorrhagic or nonhemorrhagic by both observers in 19 of the 22 cases (86%). Eight of the 12 patients with hemorrhagic nodules had an infectious process including invasive aspergillosis, candidiasis, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex virus, or coccidioidomycosis. Four of 12 patients with hemorrhagic nodules had a noninfectious cause including Wegener granulomatosis, metastatic angiosarcoma, and Kaposi sarcoma. CONCLUSION: Most hemorrhagic pulmonary nodules have a characteristic CT appearance consisting of a central area of soft-tissue attenuation with a surrounding halo of ground-glass attenuation that allows distinction from nonhemorrhagic nodules.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
