Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan01:13

Radiological Investigation III: Pulmonary Angiogram and PET Scan

91
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...

Pulmonary Hypertension: Classification and Pathogenesis

169
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a severe health condition in which the mean pulmonary arterial pressure increases to 25 mmHg or more, even when the body is at rest. This high pressure in the blood vessels that transport blood from the heart to the lungs can cause various symptoms, including shortness of breath, can lead to right heart failure, and significantly affect the overall quality of life.
There are various classifications for PH, each relating to different underlying causes and also...

Radiological Investigation I: X-ray and CT

232
Radiological investigations, including X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, are critical for diagnosing and evaluating various medical conditions. These imaging techniques provide valuable insights into the body's internal structures, aiding in the detection of abnormalities, assessment of disease progression, and development of treatment strategies. This article delves into two primary radiological investigations, chest X-rays and CT scans, outlining their purpose, procedures, and...

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan

114
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:

  • Cardiovascular Imaging
  • Oncology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cardiac tumors, though rare, are associated with significant morbidity and mortality.
  • Initial identification often occurs via echocardiography or incidental CT scans.
  • The World Health Organization (WHO) classification of cardiac tumors has been updated in 2021.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the updated 2021 WHO classification of cardiac tumors.
  • To highlight the role of multimodality imaging in diagnosing cardiac masses.
  • To emphasize the importance of updated terminology for clinical management.

Main Methods:

  • Review of the 2021 WHO classification of tumors of the heart.
  • Discussion of imaging modalities including echocardiography, cardiac MRI, cardiac CT, and PET.
  • Emphasis on multimodality imaging for characterization and treatment planning.

Main Results:

  • Papillary fibroelastoma is the most common primary cardiac neoplasm under the new classification.
  • Pseudotumors (thrombi, anatomic variants) and cardiac metastases are more common than primary tumors.
  • Cardiac MRI is the preferred modality for cardiac mass identification and characterization.

Conclusions:

  • Familiarity with the updated 2021 WHO classification is crucial for accurate radiologic investigation.
  • Individualized imaging strategies are essential for effective treatment planning of cardiac tumors.
  • Understanding evolving tumor terminology guides medical and surgical management.
