    Abstract Background: Pulmonary sarcoidosis is a systemic disease that can confound established follow-up tools. Pulmonary function tests (PFTs) are recommended in initial and follow-up patient evaluations yet are imperfect predictors of disease progression. The cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) is another potentially useful monitoring tool, although previous studies report conflicting findings regarding which variables are altered by the disease. Nuclear imaging tests are also employed to assess inflammatory activity and may be predictive of functional deterioration.
    Aim: We asked whether PFTs or CPET are more diagnostic of disease stage, which subsets of functional variables are impacted by the disease, and how these relate to nuclear imaging signs of active inflammation.
    Study design and methods: We collected retrospective data (spirometry, CPET, Gallium-67 scintigraphy, 18F-FDG PET/CT) from 48 patients and 10 controls. Disease severity was assessed following Scadding classification. First, we correlated individual PFTs and CPET parameters to Scadding stage and nuclear imaging data. Next, we performed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) on PFTs and CPET parameters, separated into respiratory, cardiovascular and metabolic subsets. Finally, we constructed multiple regression models to determine which variable subsets were the best predictors of Scadding stage and disease activity.
    Results: The majority of PFTs and CPET single parameters were significantly correlated with patient stage, while only few correlated with disease activity. Nevertheless, multiple regression models were able to significantly relate PFTs and CPET to both disease stage and activity. Additionally, these analyses highlighted CPET cardiovascular parameters as the best overall predictors of disease stage and activity.
    Conclusions: Our results display how CPET and spirometry data complement each other for sarcoidosis disease staging, and how these tests are able to detect disease activity. Our findings suggest that CPET, a repeatable and non-invasive functional test, should be more routinely performed and taken into account in sarcoidosis patient follow-up.

    Abstract Objectives: To evaluate the capability of digital tomosynthesis (DTS) to characterize suspected pulmonary lesions in the so-called hidden areas at chest X-ray (CXR).
    Materials and methods: Among 726 patients with suspected pulmonary lesions at CXR who underwent DTS, 353 patients (201 males, 152 females; age 71.5 ± 10.4 years) revealed suspected pulmonary lesions in the apical, hilar, retrocardiac, or paradiaphragmatic lung zones and were retrospectively included. Two readers analyzed CXR and DTS images and provided a confidence score: 1 or 2 = definitely or probably benign pulmonary or extra-pulmonary lesion, or pulmonary pseudo-lesion deserving no further diagnostic work-up; 3 = indeterminate lesion; 4 or 5 = probably or definitely pulmonary lesion deserving further diagnostic work-up by CT. The nature of DTS findings was proven by CT (
    Results: In 62/353 patients the suspected lung lesions were located in the lung apex, in 92/353 in the hilar region, in 59/353 in the retrocardiac region, and in 140/353 in the paradiaphragmatic region. DTS correctly characterized the CXR findings as benign pulmonary or extrapulmonary lesion (score 1 or 2) in 43/62 patients (69%) in the lung apex region, in 56/92 (61%) in the pulmonary hilar region, in 40/59 (67%) in the retrocardiac region, and in 106/140 (76%) in the paradiaphragmatic region, while correctly recommending CT in the remaining cases due to the presence of true solid pulmonary lesion, with the exception of 22 false negative findings (60 false positive findings). DTS showed a significantly (
    Conclusions: DTS allowed confirmation or exclusion of the presence of true pulmonary lesions in the hidden areas of the chest.

    Abstract Critically ill patients admitted to the intensive care unit require continuous monitoring of vital functions as well as mechanical and pharmacological support, provided through different devices. Chest radiographs play a fundamental role in monitoring the conditions of these patients and assessing the intensive-care devices after their insertion; therefore, the radiologist needs to know their normal appearance and their correct position and should be aware of the possible complications that may occur after their placement. This pictorial review illustrates the radiographic appearance of non-cardiological devices commonly used in clinical practice (central venous catheters, tunneled catheters, Swan-Ganz catheters, chest tubes, endotracheal tubes, and nasogastric tubes), their correct position and the most common complications that may occur after their placement.

    Abstract Purpose of review: The purpose of this review is to describe the main features of the aging chest, studied through different imaging modalities.
    Recent findings: Aging-related changes of the respiratory system are inevitable. Therefore, it is mandatory to be familiar with the para-physiological changes that occurs, in order to avoid inappropriate interpretation of radiological findings that put patients at risk of over or undertreatment.
    Summary: The role of the radiologist is fundamental in evaluating aging-related processes affecting the respiratory system and in distinguishing them from frank diseases.
