Metastatic pulmonary calcification occurs in association with several disease processes and has a highly variable prognosis. In certain patients, it may prove fatal, and therefore prompt recognition of radiological signs is helpful for optimising patient management. We describe the progressive changes seen on CT in a 59-year-old man who had undergone renal transplant and subsequently developed metastatic pulmonary calcification. The merits of the different imaging techniques available and possible treatment options are reviewed.
Laparoscopic cholecystectomy is a commonly performed surgical procedure and radiologists are often called on to identify or rule out postoperative complications. In such cases, the correct diagnosis is crucial in optimizing patient management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
