1I.P. Pavlov State Medical University, St. Petersburg.
Abstract:
To evaluate the efficiency of ultrasound (US) and computed tomography (CT) in diagnosis of neck neoplasms, 36 patients with 26 benign and 8 malignant tumors were examined. Also, 32 US-guided fine needle aspiration biopsies (FNAB) were performed. Both US and CT showed high efficiency in detecting neck masses but not in different diagnosis, except for lymphomas. However, FNAB discriminated between benign and malignant tumors with a sensitivity of 75%, specificity--96% and accuracy--90.9%.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
