Pulmonary acute suppurative abscess problem with Biophilia Tracker X4 MAX and NLS study

The urgency of the problem of diagnosis and treatment of acute suppurative lung abscess depends on the prevalence and severity of this pathology. Acute suppurative lung abscess (APAL) is part of a condition commonly known as abscess-destructive disease of the lung (PDDL). Gangrenous abscesses, pulmonary gangrene, and pleural empyema are also included in this group.

In patients with abscesses, there is an increasing trend of pulmonary gangrene and pleural empyema. This is the result of late diagnosis and hospitalization, and inadequate treatment of pneumonia.

Despite improvements in treatment, the mortality rate from PDDL remains high, possibly reaching 70%. More than a third of patients transitioned from an acute to a chronic course. The fatality rate in acute lung abscesses ranged from 7.2% to 28.3%; in gangrenous processes - from 23.4% to 74.1%.

Due to this fact, timely and accurate disease diagnosis is of great practical importance; such diagnostic results are the basis for the patient's choice of treatment strategy.

Complete traditional imaging examinations and study the structure of pathological lesions in detail; Biophilia Tracker X4 MAX's comprehensive evaluation of radiology and NLS examination results may be the basis for patient treatment strategy selection.
