Rationale and ObjectivesThe main aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical validity and correlation with pathologic invasiveness in the pulmonary adenocarcinoma spectrum based on the novel qualitative computed tomography criterion for subsolid nodule (SSN) classification, which classified SSN into pure ground-glass nodule, heterogeneous ground-glass nodule, and part-solid nodule. In addition, we compared the performance of the conventional and novel classifications.Materials and MethodsThe computed tomography images of 41 SSN nodules were interpreted by six observers independently, and the SSN characteristics were classified according to both the conventional and the novel classification systems. Each observer assessed 41 nodules in two different classifications separated by a minimum of 8 weeks. The kappa (κ) coefficient test was used to determine the reliability. The correlation between pulmonary adenocarcinoma spectrum and the SSN classification was analyzed with Spearman correlation coefficients.ResultsInterobserver agreement (κ) was 0.702 (range 0.42–0.89) and 0.707 (range 0.58–0.88) for the conventional and the novel classifications for SSN, respectively, and intraobserver agreement (κ) was 0.92 and 0.88 for the conventional and the novel classifications for SSN, respectively. The novel SSN classification (correlation coefficient range 0.622–0.732) is more strongly correlated with the pathologic invasiveness degree of lesions in adenocarcinoma spectrum than the conventional SSN classification (correlation coefficient range 0.458–0.644).ConclusionsThe agreement between observers on the novel SSN classification system was good and had better correlation with pathologic invasiveness than the conventional SSN classification. Further studies are needed to confirm these results on interobserver agreement.
