The syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone has been described in association with a variety of diseases of the thorax, especially with intrathoracic neoplasms.' 3To our knowledge there is only one case report of mesothelioma associated with the syndrome of inappropriate secretion of antidiuretic hormone.4 We describe another histologically proved case of the biphasic type o...

FIGURE 1 : Chest x-ray film before treatment, showing cardiac enlargement and pulmonary congestion. There is pleural fluid on both sides, and a wedge-shaped shadow in the right mid-lung extending from the mediastinal shadow to the lateral thorax wall. FIGURE 2 : Chest x-ray film nine days later, after treatment with digitalis and diuretics. The “tumor” has disappeared, but there still remains a...

We report a case of a 70-year-old man who presented with abdominal pain and weight loss, with initial imaging showing simultaneous mass lesions in the pancreas and lungs along with extensive lymphadenopathy in the thorax up to the left supraclavicular region. Core biopsies of the left supraclavicular lymph node showed squamous cell carcinoma, which required differentiation between secondary and...

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has made test screening much needed. Currently, the most commonly used is swab type. Although in fact, there also a method with chest radiology. purpose of this study to develop COVID-19 early detection system based on X-ray images patient's thorax form computer-aided diagnosis. This case fact that modalities are available several health care cen...

An 18-year-old man was referred to the authors' institution's thoracic cancer specialists for further consultation after abnormal findings were seen on chest radiograph.

Diagnosis and therapy planning in oncology applications often rely on the joint exploitation of two complementary imaging modalities, namely Computerized Tomography (CT) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET). While recent technical advances in combined CT/PET scanners enable 3D CT and PET data of the thoracic region to be obtained with the patient in the same global position, current image dat...

The research focus of the current paper are modern algorithms for solving the problem of automatic diagnostic of thorax diseases based on X-ray images. Special attention was paid to image preprocessing, classification together with calculation of features and their comparison in terms of efficiency. Approaches mentioned in this paper are used for development of new algorithm for automatic diagn...
