High-density pulmonary lesions: Review in chest imaging.

ABSTRACT

High-density pulmonary lesions are frequently seen in chest imaging, and it is important to identify their different causes. Radiologists must be able to distinguish between common and rare conditions in order to provide the best diagnosis and treatment. This article provides an overview of the various causes and imaging features of high-density lesions in the lungs. The lesions are classified into various categories, such as pulmonary nodules, inflammatory conditions, deposition diseases, contrast-related lesions, and thoracic devices. A clear understanding of these categories can help radiologists accurately diagnose and manage high-density pulmonary lesions encountered in practice.
