Pulmonary digital subtraction angiography: a screening tool for vascular lung lesions
Abstract:
Pulmonary digital subtraction angiography offers a further method of distinguishing vascular from avascular lesions in the lung. The computerised (digitised) recording allows versatility of data manipulation and post-processing and is of particular value in identifying a vascular component in complex lung masses. In the five cases described, digital subtraction angiography provided useful information; in three, it was the definitive diagnostic procedure.

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...
