The Solitary Pulmonary Nodule.
Due to the high etiological diversity and the potential for malignancy, pulmonary nodules represent a clinical challenge, becoming increasingly frequent as the number of CT examinations rises. The topic gains even more importance as clear evidence for the effectiveness of CT screening was provided by the National Lung Screening Trial (NLST). Yet, the results were tempered by the high false-posi...

متن کاملThe solitary pulmonary nodule.
The radiologic evaluation of the solitary pulmonary nodule (SPN) is a common diagnostic dilemma. Although available clinical data and findings on conventional radiographs are important components in determining the imaging approach to the SPN, evaluation with CT often is necessary for detailed evaluation. This article reviews the radiologist's approach to the evaluation of the SPN, with a parti...
متن کاملImplications of an Incidental Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation.
Introduction. Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) have been associated with life-threatening complications, such as stroke and massive hemoptysis, thus posing significant morbidity if left untreated. We report a case of an incidental finding of a PAVM in a trauma patient newly recognized to have suspected hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT). Case Description. A 34-year-old man...
متن کاملToward Precise Pulmonary Nodule Descriptors for Nodule Type Classification
A framework for nodule feature-based extraction is presented to classify lung nodules in low-dose CT slices (LDCT) into four categories: juxta, well-circumscribed, vascularized and pleural-tail, based on the extracted information. The Scale Invariant Feature Transform (SIFT) and an adaptation to Daugman's Iris Recognition algorithm are used for analysis. The SIFT descriptor results are projecte...
