Fouty- radiology of obstructive disease Flashcards
normal or abnormal to see lymph nodes on CT or radiograph
abnormal
station 10 lymph nodes
hilar nodes
station 2 lymph nodes
paratracheal nodes
3 arteries off the aorta
L brachioceohalic a.
L common carotid
L subclavian
what station lymph nodes get enlarged in sarcoidosis
station 2 lymph nodes
station of lymph nodes at tracheal bifurcation
station 7 lymph nodes (subcarinal)
if R and L lymph nodes are enlarged think what
systemic process
(sarcoidosis or lymphoma)
asymmetric enlargement of nodes think what
infection or cancer (localized)
station 10 nodes
hilar nodes
station 7 nodes
carinal nodes
station 2 nodes
paratracheal
R hilum enlarged
station 2 lymph nodes enlarged
what to think if R hilum is enlarged
pulmonary HTN or lymph node enlargement
L and R hilum enlarged (think what)
pulmonary a. enlargement or lymph node enlargement
classic CXR for what
sarcoidosis
(station 2 and 10 nodal enlargement)
enlargement of nodes
classic CT for what
lymphoma (possible sarcoidosis)
explain
obstructive CXR:
hyperinflation
flat diaphragm
lucency
normal lateral
what can’t you identify on PA, but can on lateral CXR
upper and lower lobes
explain
flat diaphragm
increased retrosternal airspace
(obstructive)
explain
barrel chest
huge restrosternal space
flat diaphragm
(emphysema)
“moth eaten”
emphysema
upper lobe predomination—-seen in smokers
centrilobular emphysema
