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.
-
Chest x-ray: A 32 year old woman. 1. 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. 2. Cardiomegaly with right atrial and left atrial enlargement and hepatic congestion. -
