[Solitary pulmonary nodule]

21 Sep 2009 Primary pulmonary amyloidosis is rare. Three patterns of involvement have been described: tracheobronchial, nodular and diffuse parenchymal. The nodular parenchymal amyloid deposits are often multiple, much less common focal. We hereby present a ... Read more...

Pleuropulmonary complications of rheumatoid arthritis: a thoracic surgeon's challenge.

30 Aug 2009 Approximately 1% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis have chronic lung disease develop, which can lead to complications, including pneumothorax and bronchopleural fistula. Given the inflammatory changes found, along with the immunosuppressant ... Read more...

A supervised 'lesion-enhancement' filter by use of a massive-training artificial neural network (MTANN) in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD).

16 Aug 2009 Computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has been an active area of study in medical image analysis. A filter for the enhancement of lesions plays an important role for improving the sensitivity and specificity in CAD schemes. The filter enhances objects ... Read more...

Technical information about 'Solitary Pulmonary Nodule'

Definition: A single lung lesion that is characterized by a small round mass of tissue, usually less than 1 cm in diameter, and can be detected by chest radiography. A solitary pulmonary nodule can be associated with neoplasm, tuberculosis, cyst, or other anomalies in the lung, the CHEST WALL, or the PLEURA.
