The clinical management of pulmonary embolism and deep venous thrombosis of the legs are similar and requires prolonged anticoagulation therapy. The standard diagnostic approach in patients suspected of pulmonary embolism is ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) lung scan and compression ultrasonography to detect deep venous thrombosis. This retrospective study analyzed the role of V/Q lung scan an...

pulmonary embolism is considered as a great masquerader due to its frequent nonspecific signs and symptoms. typically pulmonary embolism is under-diagnosed or over-diagnosed. in this study a patient with pulmonary embolism is reported in which the patient exhibited two unusual manifestations namely; right upper quadrant abdominal pain and st-t elevation in anterior precordial leads. due to the ...

background: computed tomography (ct) scan is one the most useful devices in chest imaging. ct scan can be used in mediastinal abnormality, lungs, and pleural evaluations. according to the high prevalence and different causes of pulmonary nodules, we designed this study to evaluate the prevalence and the types of pulmonary nodules in noncancerous patients who underwent chest multi-detector ct (m...

Background and Aim: Pulmonary thromboembolism is an important clinical problem in the patients after major surgeries and is often difficult to diagnose because of nonspecific clinical symptoms. Diagnosis of pulmonary embolism is based on medical imaging methods. The aim of this study was to evaluate the results of CT pulmonary angiographies of the patients with primary clinical diagnosis of pul...

a 22-year-old woman presented with acute left-sided pleuritic chest pain and dyspnea 6 days after surgery for revision of the stenotic central aortopulmonary shunt. she had a history of tetralogy of fallot (tof), pulmonary valve stenosis, ventricular septal defect and major aortopulmonary collateral artery. her waterston shunt was placed when she was 5 years old and stented and re-dilated after...

This paper presents four cases of abnormal soft tissue activity in the bone scan of patients with different lesions (lung inflammatory pseudotumor, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary metastatic osteosarcoma and metastatic hepatic carcinoma of colon).
