Abstract:
In this case report, a 70-year-old male was admitted to the hospital with respiratory tract symptoms and a fever, and he was isolated, suspected of COVID-19. A chest radiograph showed bilateral consolidations, and subsequent chest CT scan revealed bilateral and peripheral ground glass opacities, which are the most common radiological manifestations of COVID-19. The characteristic radiological findings can be exploited in the diagnosis of COVID-19, and radiologists should have knowledge of the usual manifestations of COVID-19, as they may play a role in early detection and diagnosis of the disease.

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...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
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...

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...
