[Primary hydatic cyst of the lung. Diagnostic problems (author's transl)]. 1979

H Durand, and J Prinseau, and S Bonfante, and L Moreau

Diagnosis of primary cystic disease of the lung is often difficult, and because of this, in non-endemic regions, patients are often referred to the surgeon with an erroneous diagnosis. Clinical signs are completely non-specific. The most common one is hemoptysis; X-rays often fail to confirm hydatic cyst because of the volume, topography, or rupture of the cyst. Biological tests are often of little help. Serological reactions are negative in over one-half of the cases. The advantage of other complementary examinations (bronchiography, bronchoscopy, angiography, echotomography, scintigraphy) including transparietal punctions of the cyst, are discussed in light of the literature.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D014465 Ultrasonics A subfield of acoustics dealing in the radio frequency range higher than acoustic SOUND waves (approximately above 20 kilohertz). Ultrasonic radiation is used therapeutically (DIATHERMY and ULTRASONIC THERAPY) to generate HEAT and to selectively destroy tissues. It is also used in diagnostics, for example, ULTRASONOGRAPHY; ECHOENCEPHALOGRAPHY; and ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY, to visually display echoes received from irradiated tissues. Ultrasonic
