The Diagnostic Value of Quantitative CT Analysis of Ground-Glass Volume Percentage in Differentiating Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Mutation and Subtypes in Lung Adenocarcinoma.

GGO volume percentage in adenocarcinomas with EGFR mutation was significantly higher than that in tumors without EGFR mutation, and adenocarcinomas with exon 21 mutation showed significantly higher GGO volume percentage than in tumors with exon 19 mutation and those without EGFR mutation. Our results indicate that GGO volume percentage cut-off values of more than 37.7% and 34.3% were predictors of positive exon 21 mutation and EGFR mutation, respectively.
