Computer-aided quantitative MSCT measurements may be useful for congenital lung malformations surgical approach selection

Retrospective study of 151 pediatric CLM cases demonstrates that semi-automated MSCT volumetric measurements—particularly lesion volume and lesion-to-lobe ratios—correlate with surgical approach selection. Larger lesions and higher proportional volumes predict lobectomy over lung-sparing procedures, suggesting quantitative imaging may guide preoperative planning.
