Abstract:
We report 3 cases of 3 types of thoracic amyloidosis (tracheobronchial amyloidosis, nodular parenchymal amyloidosis, and lymph node amyloidosis) with an emphasis on computed tomographic features. Thoracic amyloidosis is a rare disease, but we think it is important to know its different types and understand how it manifests itself to be able to recognize it.

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...
Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
