Aim: The aim was to study the pathomorphological changes through thoracic radiography and status of oxidative stress parameters in heartworm affected dogs in Odisha. Materials and Methods: A total of 16 dogs with clinically established diagnosis of dirofilariasis by wet blood smear and modified Knott’s test and equal numbers of dogs as control were included in this study. The present study was ...

Chest radiography, conventional computed tomography (CT), multidetector CT angiography, and conventional thoracic angiography are all useful in assessing patients with hemoptysis. In this paper we outline our approach to assessing and treating these patients.

Extra-pulmonary diseases may mimic pulmonary lesions on chest radiography. We report a case of a silent rupture of an atherosclerotic thoracic aortic aneurysm with peripheral thrombus formation, that closely mimicked a complicated lung malignancy.

A 36-year-old woman presented with lower extremity paralysis. Her past medical history included gout. Conventional radiography and MR imaging revealed bone erosion and soft tissue lesions of the thoracic spine. Fluorodeoxyglucose-positron-emission tomographic (FDG-PET) images revealed hypermetabolic lesions of the thoracic spine. A CT-guided biopsy was diagnostic for inflammatory tophaceous gou...

This case report describes a 32-year-old male who presented to an emergency department with severe chest pain and a history of cough, fever, night sweats, loss of appetite and weight. Chest radiography revealed a left upper lobe consolidation and multiple compression deformities in the thoracic spine. Magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated significant kyphosis and vertebral plana at two thorac...

A 44-year-old man was admitted with coughing and dyspnea for 3 weeks. Chest radiography and thoracic CT scanning confirmed a huge left lung arteriovenous malformation (Fig. 1). Due to a prohibitively high operative risk, he was investigated with pulmonary angiography in preparation for embolization therapy (Fig. 2). The patient subsequently refused all further therapy. European Journal of Cardi...

Echocardiographic aspects of chronic mitral valvular disease were studied and compared to physical, radiographic and electrocardiographic aspects. Seventy dogs were used, and clinical examination, thoracic radiography, electrocardiogram and echocardiogram were performed. Correlations between regurgitation severity with cardiac failure functional class and murmur intensity were observed. The ele...

Members of the Fleischner Society compiled a glossary of terms for thoracic imaging that replaces previous glossaries published in 1984 and 1996 for thoracic radiography and computed tomography (CT), respectively. The need to update the previous versions came from the recognition that new words have emerged, others have become obsolete, and the meaning of some terms has changed. Brief descripti...
