Evaluation of Incidental Cardiac Masses on Computed Tomography Imaging: An Algorithmic Approach.

Abstract:

:Cardiac masses encountered on imaging may present a diagnostic dilemma when discovered incidentally, or even when they serve as the principal reason for the examination. In this review, we present an algorithmic approach for assessing cardiac masses by integrating clinical information with radiologic findings to reach a specific diagnosis or a narrow differential diagnosis.

  • Pathology of common pulmonary fungal infections.

    abstract::The incidence of fungal pneumonias has increased dramatically since the 1960s, particularly in immunocompromised patients. Fungal infections may be divided into endemic and opportunistic varieties. In general, the truly pathogenic (endemic) fungi infect healthy individuals, and opportunistic fungi usually infect only ...
