He returned again and again to a small constellation of subjects: mirrors and glass, shadows and silhouettes, reflection, blur, fog, rain, snow, doors, buses, cars, fedoras.
There were bilateral ground glass shadowing and subpleural reticulations (Fig. 1a).
Successful ablation is denoted by the development of ground glass shadowing that completely encompasses the tumour.
In most cases, the GTVfin included more areas of atelectasis or ground glass shadowing.
Changes made were categorized as (a) differentiation of tumour from atelectasis or ground glass shadowing, (b) separation of tumour from vasculature, and (c) defining mediastinal extent of tumour.
Histological studies have shown that the zone of cell death lies 2 4 mm inside the outer margin of the ground glass shadowing.
In addition, each patient had undergone high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scanning confirming the presence of pulmonary fibrosis, with predominant reticular or honeycomb pattern in the subpleural regions of the lung bases and little or no ground glass shadowing.
The CT scan obtained 24 hours later showed a bilateral patchy ground-glass shadow, and the BWT was 4.4 mm.
Computer tomographic scan of the thorax indicated widespread ground-glass shadowing in both lung fields, which was especially prominent at left lower and lingular lobes.
In a series of 47 patients from this population for whom HRCT was available, the characteristic images of gefitinib-associated ILD were of patchy diffuse ground-glass shadows; these HRCT images were similar to those of drug-associated lung injury (AstraZeneca and Iressa Expert Committee, 2003).
Pinterest sleeps fitfully on the exposed-brick ground, surrounded by broken glass and shadow boxes of taxidermied butterflies.
