Correlation between imaging features of pure ground-glass opacities and pathological subtypes of lung minimally invasive adenocarcinoma and precursor lesions.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate the relationship between imaging features of pure ground-glass opacities (pGGOs) and the pathological subtypes of minimally invasive adenocarcinoma (MIA) and precursor lesions. A retrospective analysis was conducted on data from 1521 patients diagnosed with GGOs as lung adenocarcinoma or precursor lesions between January 2015 and March 2021. The pGGOs were categorized into atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH) / adenocarcinoma in situ (AIS) and MIA groups. Clinical information and CT imaging features were collected. Statistical analysis, logistic regression, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were performed. A total of 127 patients with 139 pGGOs were included.
