Chest radiographs Flashcards
Chiliditis syndrome
Loop of bowl between diapragm and liver - normal finding that can look like free air
Morgagni hernia
Right Anterior or medial
Eventration of hernia
thinnning of hernia
Bochdalek
Back
Paravertebral stripe
7x more than pedicle retroperitoneal mass
Abdomen
Pneumomperitonium
RAM and Back delek
Calcium and paravertebral stripe
S fractures in child abuse
Scapula - very difficult to break
Sheer injury of lip of glenoid rim off glenoid fossa
Spinous process - apophyseal tips
Sternum - caused by pressing on sternum
4 sest fo ribs on each side
anteriosr, posterior, lateral and costochondral
Cardiomegaly
Posterior boarder istapping on anterior margins of vertebral bodies on lateral view
Shunt vascularity
Interlobar PA - diameter should be euql to or less than trachea
Peripheral of pleural line - should be avascular
if pulm artery is larger than airway in their couplets
Look in hepatic windeow for vessesls
Right arch
Arch may cause convex bulge of trachea
When is R arch not one
Double arotic arch
Pulm sling
posterior wall of trachea - being pushed pn lateral - chokes off esophagis
Thymus vs. mass
You can see vessels through thymus - it is lucent and fading - and won't push tracheia Wave sign ( tracheal airway is happy)
Angel wing sign
trapped bubble of pneumomediastinum
Plate like collapseof lung
Atelectasis
Consiolidation
no volume loss
If peribronchial cuffing. air trapping
Viral
De-silhouette of R heard border
R ML pnuemonia
RML has 2 segments
Medial and lateral - lateral collapse may not cause de-silhouetting
RUL segments
anterior and posterior
Spine sign
Soft tissue infornt of spine should decrease but if you encounter air that makes it look brighter thinbk LL pneumonia
Wedge shape L paraverterbral opacity
think FB
Luftsichel sign
LLL completeky atelectatic “ air crescent”
Round pneumonia
seen in infants due to imatuture vesels
FB views
Bilateral decub views - on decub side it should colapse down - don’t forget fluro
Consolidations
Fluffy with airbronchograms -
Dont miss
Calcifcation - neuroblastoma
Child abuse
R aortic arch
