Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

189
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...

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

298
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
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...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

252
Description
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...

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Interventional Radiology
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Image-guided lung needle biopsy is essential for diagnosing lung pathologies, including malignancy and non-neoplastic conditions.
  • Biopsy aids in molecular profiling for targeted cancer therapies and characterizing treatment-resistant infections or inflammatory processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of image-guided lung needle biopsy.
  • To optimize diagnostic yield and patient safety through careful selection, planning, and procedural execution.

Main Methods:

  • Review of indications, contraindications, and diagnostic alternatives.
  • Detailed procedural steps, including technical tips for complication prevention (e.g., saline seal, hydro dissection).
  • Management strategies for complications and recommendations for post-procedural care.

Main Results:

  • Successful biopsy requires meticulous patient and lesion selection, alongside pre-procedural evaluation.
  • Specific techniques can significantly reduce the risk of complications.
  • Strategies exist to manage complications and avoid non-diagnostic results.

Conclusions:

  • Image-guided lung needle biopsy is a vital tool for diagnosing diverse lung pathologies.
  • Adherence to best practices in patient selection, procedural technique, and complication management maximizes diagnostic success and patient safety.
