Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

Radiological investigations are paramount in the diagnosis and management of various pulmonary diseases. Two essential investigations are the Pulmonary Angiogram and the Positron Emission Tomography (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...

Other Pulmonary Disorders

Other Pulmonary Disorders

Respiratory disorders encompass a range of conditions with varying levels of severity. Asthma, marked by chronic airway inflammation and hypersensitivity, is one such condition. It can lead to airway obstruction due to factors like bronchial spasms, mucosal edema, increased mucus secretion, or epithelial damage. Asthma triggers are diverse, ranging from allergens to emotional upset, and treatment focuses on both immediate relief through bronchodilators and long-term inflammation suppression.

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Pulmonary Tuberculosis III

Tuberculosis (TB) is a contagious infection primarily affecting the lung parenchyma but which can also affect other body parts. TB can be classified based on disease development, presentation, and the affected anatomical site.
The first classification is based on the development of the disease, and it includes the following categories:

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

Pulmonary Tuberculosis II

Tuberculosis, or TB, is a bacterial infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. While its primary impact is on the lungs, leading to pulmonary tuberculosis, it can also affect various other organs, a condition referred to as extrapulmonary tuberculosis.
Here is a detailed explanation of its pathophysiology:
Transmission: The process begins when a person inhales droplet nuclei containing M. tuberculosis. These are typically released into the air when an individual with pulmonary or...

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction

Pulmonary Embolism I: Introduction

Pulmonary embolism (PE) occurs when a thrombus, fat or air embolus, amniotic fluid, or tumor tissue blocks one or more pulmonary arteries. These blockages originate in the venous system or the right side of the heart.EtiologyPE primarily arises from deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and other hypercoagulable states, such as inherited thrombophilias. Additional etiological factors include venous stasis, commonly seen in obesity, and endothelial injury from surgery and trauma. Less common causes include...

Pleura of the Lungs

Pleura of the Lungs

The lungs are nestled in a cavity, shielded by the pleura. The pleura, a form of serous membrane, wraps around each lung. This membrane arrangement consists of two layers: the visceral and parietal pleurae. The visceral pleura lines the surface of the lungIn contrast, the parietal pleura is the outer layer and contacts to the thoracic wall, the mediastinum, and the diaphragm. The hilum is the point of connection between the visceral and parietal layers. The space between the parietal and...

Summary

This summary is machine-generated.

Subsolid pulmonary nodules, common in CT scans, are often adenocarcinoma. Early detection and resection offer an excellent prognosis, while non-resected nodules require long-term monitoring.

Area of Science:

Pulmonology
Radiology
Oncology

Background:

Subsolid nodules constitute nearly 20% of incidental pulmonary nodules found on chest CT.
Detection rates are increasing due to widespread CT scan use.
These nodules present unique diagnostic challenges compared to solid nodules.

Purpose of the Study:

To review the characteristics of subsolid pulmonary nodules.
To discuss their diagnostic challenges and management strategies.
To highlight the correlation between imaging and histopathology.

Main Methods:

Review of existing literature and guidelines on subsolid pulmonary nodules.
Analysis of radiological features and histopathological findings.
Discussion of follow-up protocols and prognostic factors.

Main Results:

A strong correlation exists between the radiological appearance and histopathology of subsolid nodules.
Persistent subsolid nodules are frequently adenocarcinomas (75%).
Resected subsolid nodules generally have an excellent prognosis.

Conclusions:

Subsolid nodules require specific management due to their slow growth and potential malignancy.
Long-term follow-up (3-5 years) is crucial for non-resected nodules.
Adherence to published guidelines (2013, 2015) is recommended for optimal patient care.
