PET/CT in the evaluation of pulmonary solitary nodule
Radiol Bras. 2016 Mar/Abr;49(2):XI In recent decades, we have been faced with an increasing number of thoracic computed tomography (CT) examinations worldwide, an increase that can be partially attributed to the growing number of lung cancer screening programs. In addition, the development of scanners with higher spatial resolution has increased the number of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs) d...
متن کاملA New Computer-Aided Detection System for Pulmonary Nodule in CT Scan Images of Cancerous Patients
Introduction: In the lung cancers, a computer-aided detection system that is capable of detecting very small glands in high volume of CT images is very useful.This study provided a novelsystem for detection of pulmonary nodules in CT image. Methods: In a case-control study, CT scans of the chest of 20 patients referred to Yazd Social Security Hospital were examined. In the two-dimensional and ...
متن کاملEvaluation of the solitary pulmonary nodule.
Solitary pulmonary nodules are common radiologic findings, typically discovered incidentally through chest radiography or computed tomography of the neck, chest, and abdomen. Primary care physicians must decide how to pursue an evaluation of a nodule once it has been identified. The differential diagnosis for pulmonary nodules includes benign and malignant causes. Diameter of 8 mm or more, "gro...
متن کاملImaging evaluation of the solitary pulmonary nodule.
The solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a common diagnostic problem facing the pulmonologist. The incidence of SPNs is increasing primarily because of the increasing use of multidetector CT scanning for the evaluation of chest disease. This article reviews the radiologic assessment of the SPN, with a focus on thin-section CT, positron emission tomography, and CT-guided transthoracic needle biops...
متن کاملLow-dose spiral CT screening and evaluation of the solitary pulmonary nodule.
Lung cancer screening using helical low-dose computerized tomography (LDCT) increased drastically after publication of a successful well-designed prospective randomized screening study, the National Lung Screening Trial. This increase in screening has led to a significant increase in the diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodules (SPNs). Some of these lesions are early cancers, and their removal c...
