[Differential diagnosis aspects of computerized tomography in cancer and tuberculosis of the lungs]
Abstract:
The rise in the incidence of pulmonary tuberculosis has caused an increase in the frequency of an association with lung neoplasms. Atypical manifestations of the diseases are observed in 20-22% of cases and attributable to a combination of X-ray signs, pathomorphism in the presence of immunodeficiencies, and a particular mimicry of lung cancer and pulmonary tuberculosis. The paper outlines the most characteristic diagnostic situations which most frequently lead to erroneous conclusions. The conditions in this group of patients should be verified by invasive instrumental means to obtain a morphological material.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
Pulmonary Tuberculosis IV
Several diagnostic approaches are used to detect TB. The conventional method is the Tuberculin Skin Test (TST), also known as the Mantoux test. However, this method has...
Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT
Pulmonary Tuberculosis III
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:
Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan
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...
