non-calcified hyperdense pulmonary nodules
Non-calcified hyperdense pulmonary nodules are predominantly the result of inhalational exposure to substances, although embolization of material may cause dense nodular opacification within the lung.
- inhalation disease, e.g. pneumoconioses
- pulmonary baritosis (barium dust)
- pulmonary siderosis (iron oxide)
- pulmonary stannosis (tin oxide)
- mercury, e.g. suicide attempt
- talcosis (magnesium silicate)
- tiny micronodules (<1 mm)
- IVDU injecting dissolved tablets intended for oral use (talc is used as a filler and lubricant in tablet preparations)
- acrylic cement embolism
- complication of vertebroplasty or peripheral orthopedic implants
