During preoperative evaluation of adenocarcinomas for the likelihood of VPI, whether a tumor manifests as a solid or a subsolid nodule is important to consider because the incidence of VPI is significantly higher in solid than in subsolid nodules. In addition, this study showed that the CT patterns associated with VPI differ between solid and subsolid nodules.© RSNA, 2019Supplemental material is available for this article.See also the commentary by Elicker in this issue.
