It can be many tings : fibrosis calcified nodule (to the local old lesion - tuberculosis, dust intake to the workplace ), cancer, active tuberculosis, autoimmune disease, and more.
The differentiation can be made on radiography, MRI, microscopic examination from biopsy fragment.

Is Pulmonary Embolism the same as Pulmonary Hypertension?
A pulmonary embolism is also characterized as central or peripheral, depending on the location or the arterial branch involved. Central vascular zones include the main pulmonary artery, the left and right main pulmonary arteries, the anterior trunk, the right and left interlobar arteries, the left upper lobe trunk, the right middle lobe artery, and the right and left lower lobe arteries.
What is non calcified pulmonary parenchymal nodule?
sarcoidosis
What is hetero-echoic lesion?
heteroechoic nodule in left lobe
How large is 7mm nodule?
Small lung cell cancer - 7mm enhancing nodule posterior right frontal lobe is this large
How do you trace the path from the femoral vein to the lower lobe of the right lung via the right pulmonary artery?
From the Femoral vein, you would go to the inferior vena cava, which then leads to the right atrium of the heart. From there, you'd go tothe right AV valve to the right ventricle and then to the pulmonary SL valve. Then, you'd go to the pulmonary artery and then the lungs. Once in the lungs, go to the lower lobe of the right lung. There are three lobes within the rght lung, unlike the left lung, wich has two. The three lobes are the Superior lobe, at the top, the Middle lobe, in the middle, and lastly, the Inferior lobe at the bottom
What is upper lobe blood diversion?
The pulmonary veins running from the upper lobes seem more prominent than those running from the lower lobes.
What is an upper lobe nodule?
An upper lobe nodule is a small, abnormal growth or mass located in the upper lobe of the lung, often detected through imaging studies like chest X-rays or CT scans. These nodules can vary in size and may represent a range of conditions, from benign (like infections or scars) to malignant (such as lung cancer). The significance of an upper lobe nodule typically depends on factors like its size, appearance, and the patient's risk factors for lung disease. Further evaluation, including follow-up imaging or biopsy, may be necessary to determine the nature of the nodule.

What is pulmonary lobectomy?
lobectomy is the removal of a lobe, or section, of the lung
What does FDG AVID pulmonary nodule with MAX SUV of 3.2 mean?
An FDG avid pulmonary nodule with a maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of 3.2 indicates that the nodule has increased metabolic activity, as measured by positron emission tomography (PET) using fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). An SUV of 3.2 suggests that the nodule is likely to be malignant, although not definitively, as benign lesions can also exhibit increased uptake. Further evaluation, such as biopsy or imaging follow-up, is usually recommended to determine the nature of the nodule.
Which body part has a lower part called a lobe?
The ear has a lower part called a lobe.
What is an isthmal nodule found in the thyroid gland?
It is a mistake. The isthmus of the thyroid gland is a thin bridge across the trachea, linking the right and left lobes. It occasionally also gives rise to the pyramidal lobe, a normal variant of thyroid anatomy. The adjectival form of isthmus is isthmic, so a nodule in the thyroid isthmus is an isthmic nodule, not an isthmal nodule.
