Abstract:
Paraquat (1,1'-dimethyl-4,4'-dipyridylium) is a liquid herbicide, linked to both accidental and intentional ingestion, which can result in severe and frequently lethal poisoning. It has been known to cause injury to the lungs, kidneys, and liver. We retrospectively reviewed five cases over the last 4 years with a history of paraquat ingestion. The time duration between ingestion and high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) was assessed. HRCT chest scan was variable, ranging from 4 to 18 days postexposure. The follow-up of the patients was also reviewed.

Radiological Investigation II: MRI and Ventilation Perfusion Scan
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...
