Abstract:
In this report, we studied the value of the solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN)-bronchus relationship in determining the nature of SPN by multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) in multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT). One hundred forty-eight SPN cases were enrolled. CT was performed in all cases using MSCT. Images were then transferred to a processing workstation for MPR. The results showed that MPR is a valuable tool for visualizing the SPN-bronchus relationship and that the SPN-bronchus relationship is useful in determining the nature and the degree of differentiation of SPN.

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...

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due to...
