Final2 Flashcards
Two common categories of cause for acute interstitial lung disease (ILD)
Infection
Neoplasm
PA chest suspicion of pneumothorax can be differentiated from larger bulla by which imaging procedure
Decubitus series
The most cost effective imaging to confirm pancoast tumor
Apical lordotic
Which of the following signs would point to air space consolidation
Bilaterior medullary lung opacification Poorly defined opacity Air bronchogram Lobar opacification Acinonodular pattern
A common cause of a chronic reticular interstitial pulmonary pattern is
Pulmonary fibrosis
Which of the following would not be considered a cause for an appearance of unilateral hyperlucent lung
Honeycomb lung
Which of the following are signs of interstitial disease
Kerley A lines
Honeycomb densities
Reticulonodular densities
Kerly B lines (.5-2cm long)
Which of the following are compensatory/indirect signs associated with resorption atelectasis
Hilar shift toward density
Rib interspace narrowing
Two acute pneumonia disorders to produce cavitation
Klebsiella
Staph aureus
Pulmonary consolidation in this segment could cause a silhouette sign with the pulmonary artery
LUL #2
Silhouette with aortic knob
LUL #1-3
Silhouette with left ventricle
LUL #5
Silhouette with descending aorta
LLL #6
Silhouette with diaphragm
LLL #7
Bronchopneumonia pattern is typical of
Consolidation pattern
TB pneumonia
Pulmonary consolidation in this segment could cause a silhouette sign with the upper descending thoracic aorta
LLL #6
Silhouette left atrium
LLL #4
All of the following can produce air space consolidation, which one typically starts in the peripheral lung
Streptococcus pneumonia
Acute diffuse interstitial lung disease is usually due to viral/mycoplasmal pneumonia or
Pulmonary edema
Which of the following would not be associated with an air bronchogram
Pleural effusion
Cavitation in adulst and pneumatocele in children is typical of
Staph aureus pneumonia
Three indirect signs of lung collapse are
Compensatory emphysema
Mediastinal deviation
Rib interspace narrowing
In adults over 40, resorption atelectasis related to large bronchial obstruction is often due to
Tumor
The most common cause of acute consolidation
Infectious pneumonia, pulmonary edema
In patients less than 40, unilateral localized increasing density is more often related to
CAPTE (consolidation, atelectasis, tumor, pleural disease, external wall)
Pleural disease
Most frequent cause of acute airspace consolidation are ___ and ___
Bacterial pneumonia
Severe pulmonary edema
Of these infecitons, cavitation is not associated with
Viral pneumonia
On a chest series, the findings are: unilateral, localized, hyperlucent lung density. What are the next considerations
Is it air trapping
Is it cavitation
Is it pneumothorax
Is it congenital lung cyst
Emphysema would be bilateral
On a chest series the findings are: unilateral, localized, homogenous water density. What are the nesxt considerations
CATPE
Is it consolidation
Is it pleural related
Is it tumor
Is it atelectasis
Air space disease may be indicated on plain film by
Localized fuzzy density
Interstitial disease may be indicated on plain film by
Honeycomb lung
Kerley lines
Pleural effusion may be indicated on plain film by
Meniscus sign
Which are related to honeycomb lung
Dyspnea
Pneumothorax
Para-cicatricial revision of architecture
Cor pulmonale
On a chest series the findings are: bilateral, widespread, non-homogenous increase in radiodensity. What are the next considerations
Is it nodular (1-2mm)
Is it reticular
Is it honeycomb
Which accessory fissures are horizontally oriented and would not show well on chest CT
Pick 2
Superior accessory fissure
Accessory left minor fissure
Which two fo the following are descriptive of kerley A lines
Thickened interlobular space
Extend outward from hilar area
The superior accessory fissure
Could mimic left minor fissure on the PA view
Aspiration pneumonia
Non-opportunistic and bronchopneumonia pattern
Staph aureus
Opportunistic
