PPT-IMAGING IN PULMONARY THROMBOEMBOLISM

BY Dr TEJAS MANKESHWAR Pulmonary embolism refers to the embolic occlusion of pulmonary artery Pulmonary embolism is the third most common acute cardiovascular disease after myocardial infarction and stroke.

Adrenal lesions can either be primary, of adrenal origin, or secondary to other pathologies. Primary adrenal lesions can further be either of cortical or medullary origin. Functioning adrenal lesions can also give clues to the histologic diagnosis and direct workup. Over the years, various imaging techniques have been developed that have increased diagnostic accuracy and helped in better characterization of adrenal lesions non-invasively. In the first part of the two part series, we review adrenal imaging techniques and adrenal cortical tumors such as adenomas, adrenocortical tumors, adrenal hyperplasia and oncocytomas.
