- Authors
Herbrecht, Raoul; Roedlich, Marie-Noëlle
- Abstract
The authors reflect on the diagnostic approaches for Angioinvasive Pulmonary Mold Disease in patients suffering from hematological malignancies. They discuss the application and usage of high-resolution computed tomography (CT) scan for the purpose of detecting pulmonary lesions and halo signs which are the prime indicators of the disease. They also comment on various limitations and side effects of using the technique in conjunction with angiography.
