dc.description.abstractPURPOSE: To assess the ability of digital chest radiography (CXR) to reveal calcification in solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs), and to examine the correlation between a visual assessment and volumetric quantification of the calcification.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study was a retrospective review of 220 SPNs identified by both CXR and chest CT. Eleven observers did blind review of the CXR images and scored nodule calcification on a confidence scale of 1 to 5. The area under the receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve (AUC) was obtained to analyze the diagnostic performance. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) for interrater reliability was calculated. The AUC and ICC were calculated according to the following nodule diameter groups: group 1 (< 10 mm), group 2 (>/= 10 mm and < 20 mm), and group 3 (>/= 20 mm).
RESULTS: Of the 220 SPNs, 145 SPNs (65.6%) were identified as non-calcified and 75 (34.4%) as calcified. The average percentage of calcification volume in SPN > 160 HU (Vol160HU) among the 75 calcified nodules was 47.5%. The mean Vol160HU of the 68 SPNs classified as having definite calcification was 51.1%. The overall AUC was 0.71. The AUCs for groups 1, 2, and 3 was 0.835, 0.639, and 0.620, respectively. The ICCs for groups 1, 2, 3 was 0.65, 0.48, and 0.33, respectively.
CONCLUSION: The overall diagnostic performance of digital CXR to predict calcification in SPNs was moderately accurate and the diagnostic performance for predicting calcification in SPNs was significantly higher, and interobserver reproducibility was good when SPN < 10 mm compared with >/= 10 mm in diameter.
KEY POINTS: * The misdiagnosis of a non-calcified nodule as a calcified one by CXR could lead to poor management choices for the SPN. * The diagnostic performance of CXR in predicting calcification was best for nodules < 10 mm in diameter. SPNs with calcification of approximately 50% of their volume tend to be considered calcified. * The diagnostic performance of CXR in identifying calcification was low for nodules >/= 10 mm in diameter: therefore, we should carefully evaluate calcification carefully for nodules >/= 10 mm.
