Introduction:
To explore the correlation between clinical and imaging features of malignant lung nodules and pathology types.
Methods:
Patients with lung nodules admitted to the Affiliated Hospital of Jiangsu University from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020 were collected as study subjects, and all of them underwent surgical treatment and were clearly diagnosed by pathology. The correlation between clinical and imaging features and pathological types of lung cancer patients was analyzed.
Results:
Among them, The pathological types of malignant pulmonary nodules are correlated with age, gender, smoking history, ground glass sign, nodule size, solid to solid ratio, lobulation sign, pleural indentation sign, hair prick sign, CEA, SCCA. The imaging features of ground glass sign and nodule size are most significantly correlated with the pathological type.
Conclusion:
It was found that, the clinical and imaging characteristics of patients with malignant lung nodules have a certain correlation with the pathological type, and gender, age, smoking history, nodule size, nodule nature, burr sign, pleural depression sign, and tumor markers are of great value for pathological typing.

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...

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...
