Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

139
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...

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Pathology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Neck masses, defined as swellings between the mandible and clavicle, are common in all age groups.
  • Diverse etiologies necessitate cost-effective diagnostic approaches for timely management.
  • Limited clinico-radiopathological data underscores the need for further research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the clinical, radiological, and pathological features of neck masses.
  • To evaluate the diagnostic utility of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and Ultrasound (USG).
  • To provide insights into the common causes and presentations of neck swellings.

Main Methods:

  • A study involving 200 patients with palpable neck masses at a tertiary care ENT department.
  • Classification of neck swellings into lymph node, thyroid, salivary gland, and skin/soft tissue categories.
  • Diagnostic workup included detailed history, general, local, and ENT examination, followed by FNAC and USG.

Main Results:

  • Neck masses exhibit highly variable clinical presentations.
  • FNAC was identified as a riskless, easy, and rapid diagnostic method.
  • USG further aided in characterizing the swellings.

Conclusions:

  • FNAC is a valuable initial diagnostic tool for neck masses.
  • Early and accurate diagnosis through FNAC facilitates appropriate patient management.
  • Further clinico-radio-pathological studies are warranted to understand the spectrum of neck masses.
