Metastatic pulmonary calcification: contribution of imaging to noninvasive diagnosis
1. MD, Radiologist, Multimagem Diagnósticos, Goiânia, GO, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected]. Metabolic pulmonary diseases comprise a heterogeneous and rare group of diseases, each with their own characteristics but with a common origin (metabolic or biochemical dysfunction); diseases in this group can be localized, affecting only the lungs, or systemic, affecting the lungs together with ...
متن کاملMetastatic pulmonary calcification
A 49-year-old man undergoing maintenance hemodialysis three times weekly for the past 14 years due to presumed hypertensive nephrosclerosis was submitted to a chest x-ray during evaluation of flu-like symptoms that resolved 3 days later. The chest x-ray disclosed interstitial infiltrates and bilateral apical opacities (Figure 1). There was no history of chronic cough, exertional dyspnea and exp...
متن کاملAtypical Radiological Manifestation of Pulmonary Metastatic Calcification
Metastatic pulmonary calcification refers to calcium deposition in the normal pulmonary parenchyma and this deposition is secondary to abnormal calcium metabolism. The most common radiologic manifestation consists of poorly-defined nodular opacities that are mainly seen in the upper lung zone. We present here a case of metastatic pulmonary calcification that manifested as atypical, dense, calci...
متن کاملContribution of noninvasive evaluation to the diagnosis of pulmonary embolism in hospitalized patients.
The effectiveness of new diagnostic tools for suspected pulmonary embolism (PE), such as clinical probability assessment, plasma D-dimer (DD) measurement and lower limb venous compression ultrasonography (US), has not been specifically studied in patients with a suspected PE occurring during hospital stay. This study applied a sequential, decision analysis-based strategy adding these instrument...
متن کاملNoninvasive diagnosis of pulmonary embolism.
BACKGROUND We designed a simple and integrated diagnostic algorithm for acute pulmonary embolism (PE). Diagnosis was based on clinical probability assessment, plasma D-dimer testing, then sequential testing to include lower limb venous compression ultrasonography, ventilation perfusion lung scan, and chest multidetector CT (MDCT) imaging. METHODS We included 321 consecutive patients presentin...
