Abstract:
The authors describe the computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) imaging findings of three cases of nasoalveolar cysts. Few previous reports have presented the CT and MR imaging findings of nasoalveolar cysts in detail, although a considerable number of reports have described these cysts. In the cases described, CT and MR images showed various densities and signal intensities due to different viscosities of intracystic fluid, and adjacent bony erosion of the anterior maxillary buccal cortex was seen in all cases.

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...

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Ventilation Perfusion Scans are two radiological investigations that offer detailed diagnostic images of the body, particularly lung structures.
MRI
MRI uses magnetic fields and radiofrequency signals to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissues. This technology provides a more detailed diagnostic image than CT scans, enabling it to characterize pulmonary nodules, stage bronchogenic carcinoma, and evaluate inflammatory activity in...
