Abstract:
Image guided lung biopsy is vital in the evaluation of pulmonary abnormalities. Various modalities can be used including Ultrasound, Computed Tomography and Navigational Bronchoscopy. In this paper, we review the indications, techniques, diagnostic accuracy and complications of image guided biopsies and the role of novel techniques such as navigational and robot-assisted bronchoscopy.

01:13Radiological 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...

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...
