Perifissural nodules

The CT-equivalent term, perifissural nodule, has come to refer to a noncalcified solid nodule with sharp margins and a regular shape abutting or near the pleural or fissural margin. Unfortunately, as the authors note, the term perifissural nodule is imprecise and somewhat misleading, in part due to the lack of uniformity of its definition.

Most show a triangular, oval/lentiform, rectangular, or dumbbell shape. They may often show a septal attachment to the pleural surface.

Anatomical plane

Image
Coronal or Frontal Plane Axial or Horizontal or Transverse Plane Sagittal or longitudinal Plane Median Plane Parasagittal Plane A parasagittal plane is any plane that divides the body into left and right portions, parallel to the sagittal plane, but not directly in the midline. Thus a parasagittal plane divides the body into unequal left and right portions, but remains parallel to the median or sagittal suture.
