Early Detection of Pulmonary Lesion by The Reconstruction of Three-Dimensional (3D) Computed Tomography (CT)
This case involves a 59-year-old female with no past medical history. She was a former smoker, consuming 5 cigarettes daily from the age of 20 to 44. In late June 2024, she underwent a health check-up and was advised to have a chest CT scan. As a result, an unexpected lesion was found in the middle to upper area of the left lung, visible in the transverse aspect. The lesion had an irregular shape and measured 25.46 x 11.89 mm. Using the reconstruction method of three-dimensional (3D) computed tomography (CT) by Synapse Vincent, detailed images of the transverse, coronal, and sagittal aspects were obtained. Tumor markers were negative for CRP, CEA, and cytokeratin 19 fragment (CYFRA).
