Imaging of Parasitic Diseases of the Thorax

Santiago Martinez 4, Carlos S Restrepo 5, Jorge A Carrillo 6
PMCID: PMC7120608

Abstract

A broad spectrum of parasitic infections frequently affects the lungs, mediastinum, and thoracic wall, manifesting with abnormal imaging findings that often make diagnosis challenging. Although most of these infections result in nonspecific abnormalities, familiarity with their imaging features and the diagnostic pathways help the radiologist to formulate an adequate differential diagnosis and to guide diagnosticians in reaching a definitive diagnosis.

Keywords: Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, Hydatid Cyst, Hydatid Disease, Alveolar Hydatid Disease, Peripheral Blood Eosinophilia
