TL;DR: Lymphocytic interstitial pneumonia is characterized by the presence of ground-glass attenuation, poorly defined centrilobular nodules, and thickening of the interstitium along the lymphatic vessels.

TL;DR: It is proposed that a "charged collagen" structure containing a lysine cluster forms a positively charged groove which specifically interacts with negatively charged ligands.

TL;DR: CT is equal or superior to MRI in the diagnosis of anterior mediastinal tumors except for thymic cyst, however, in certain circumstances, such as thymi cyst with hemorrhage or inflammation which mimic solid tumor despite low enhancement, MRI may be better in distinguishing anterior mediastsinal tumors.

TL;DR: It is suggested that SPIO–enhanced MR imaging reflects Kupffer‐cell numbers in HCCs and dysplastic nodules, and is useful for estimation of histological grading in H CCs, although uncertainties persist in differentiating dysplastics nodules from well‐differentiated HCCS.
