Moderate enhancement of epiglottic nodules refers to epiglottic nodular lesions with enhancement CT enhancement ranging from 10HU-30HU. Enhanced CT can assist in clarifying what kind of lesion it is based on the range of enhancement and the characteristics of the enhancement.
Enhanced CT is a test in which intravenous contrast is injected and scanned to observe the way the lesion is fed. It is generally divided into mild enhancement, moderate enhancement and obvious enhancement, and the degree of enhancement can only indicate the richness of blood supply of the target organ or target tissue, but not qualitative diagnosis.
Mild enhancement, when doing the enhancement scan, generally shows that the blood circulation is not very rich, but stronger than the normal tissue blood circulation, common may be inflammation, benign tumors, etc., most of which are benign lesions. Obvious enhancement means that the examined organ has rich blood supply and good blood circulation, commonly may be high functioning nodules or malignant tumors, etc., most malignant lesions.
According to the range and characteristics of enhancement, it can assist in determining whether the lesion tends to be benign or malignant. Of course, the benign or malignant nature of the lesion should be clearly diagnosed with the combination of the morphology of the lesion, the relationship between the lesion and the surrounding tissues, and pathological biopsy and other medical examination methods.
Patients with moderate enhancement of epiglottis nodules and blood circulation between the above two categories should consult the receiving doctor for further examination and other clinical information to make a definitive diagnosis.
