Overview
Chest X Ray
- The patient is a 67 year old woman with a solitary pulmonary nodule on a recent chest x-ray. A retrospective review of prior chest x-rays suggests that this is nodule is of recent origin. This lesion was felt to be too peripheral for reliable bronchial wash findings.
- Concern over potential sampling error associated with needle biopsy prompted a referral for PET imaging to rule out a malignant process.
A 32 year old woman.
- Two pulmonary arteriovenous malformations consistent with the nodules seen on the recent chest film. There is breathing artifact on several of the images and other tiny AVMs cannot be excluded.
- Cardiomegaly with right atrial and left atrial enlargement and hepatic congestion.
