Chest RadiographyIt is important to understand how an X-ray image is generated. Artifacts and other pseudo-abnormalities can be much more easily explained if you are aware of how they may be created.手榴弹 发表于 2025-3-27 09:00:30
The Normal Chest X-ray: An Approach to InterpretationBeing able to recognize normal appearances and structures as seen on a chest X-ray (CXR) is key to being able to correctly interpret any abnormal findings. In order to do this, we must first understand why we are able to see structures such as the heart border and the ribs as separate entities to surrounding tissues.Hay-Fever 发表于 2025-3-27 09:36:40
The Mediastinum and Hilar RegionsThe mediastinum is divided into anterior, middle, and posterior regions, subdivided into superior and inferior regions (Fig. 3.1). We see the outline of the mediastinum because structures are adjacent to other structures of differing radiodensity. This is generally soft tissue against air.现实 发表于 2025-3-27 15:51:45
NodulesMany disease processes result in the appearance of nodules on a chest X-ray. It is not always possible to determine the exact cause from a single plain film. Recognition of a pattern of abnormality will, however, enable a reasonable differential of the appearances to be drawn up.Adj异类的 发表于 2025-3-27 20:18:29
Pleural AbnormalitiesPleural effusions are a common finding. Further investigation of a pleural effusion, in addition to a detailed history and examination, may include a pleural tap. This establishes whether the effusion is a result of an exudate or a transudate. This knowledge further helps elucidate the cause of the effusion Table 5.1.Costume 发表于 2025-3-28 01:20:41
Pleural Thickening and CalcificationIt can sometimes be difficult to distinguish pleural thickening from an effusion purely on a plain film, particularly when the degree of thickening is small. As mentioned before, comparison with previous imaging or assessment with ultrasound is very useful.收养 发表于 2025-3-28 05:52:46
PneumothoraxThe confident diagnosis of a pneumothorax is a good example of an abnormality that may cause a diagnostic challenge to a junior doctor. There is clearly significance to the diagnosis as intervention in the form of a chest drain may be required.难理解 发表于 2025-3-28 07:52:00
Soft Tissues and Bony StructuresWhen examining a chest X-ray it is very important to consider the peripheral structures. Details of a review of areas have been given in Chapter 2 and we will now return to these as they apply to soft tissue structures and bones.Etching 发表于 2025-3-28 12:21:23
Foreign Structures and Other Devices on Chest X-raysThere are a variety of other findings on chest X-rays that re-late to either previous surgical procedures or line/tube place-ment. This chapter gives a range of examples that may be useful.
