Abstract:
A 60-year-old woman was referred to our department for further examination for chest abnormal shadow in the right upper lobe. She had a past history of rheumatoid arthritis. Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) showed mild abnormal accumulation of fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Because of lung cancer could not be denied, she underwent partial resection of the right upper lobe and the nodule was diagnosed as a rheumatoid nodule by pathology.

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...

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...
