Imaging: Cardiovascular Imaging I Flashcards
Is this aortic regurgitation or aortic stenosis?




What is left atrial appendage enlargement usually indicative of?
Rheumatic Disease






What occurs in this stage of CHF?


The left atrium is enlarged. What sign is the arrow pointing that indicates this?




Right side is normal


What are the reasons for increased CTR?



Label the heart chambers






Which type of aortic dissection is treated surgically and which is treated medically?

A: surgical
B: medical
This does not show a real increase CTR. Why?

You can tell an expiration by the height of diaphragm as well as counting the ribs (the right only shows 4 ribs). You should see 6 or 7 ribs.

How can you tell the difference between aortic regurgitation and aortic stenosis on an x-ray?
Regurge is wider
Label the heart chambers






What is the Cardiothoracic Ratio?



What distance of the green line would indicate an enlarged left atrium?


The left atrium is enlarged. What is the arrow pointing to indicate this?




What occurs in this stage of CHF?


Is this Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema or Non-cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema?

Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema
What is shown here?






The left atrium is enlarged. What is the arrow pointing to indicate this?




Which type of aortic dissection is this?






What does this SPECT show?






What is the size of an aortic aneurysm?
In most adults, an aortic diameter >3.0 cm is generally considered
aneurysmal




How can you tell that this x-ray was taken in inspiration?


Is this aortic regurgitation or aortic stenosis?






What are the types of aortic aneurysms?

Normal is on left


Which type of aortic dissection is this?




Which type of aortic dissection is this?


How are most heart X-rays taken?
P to A


What occurs in this stage of CHF?


What view is best for viewing the right ventricle and why?
Lateral View because it is the most posterior heart chamber








Left is a normal thoracic aorta. What are the middle and right pics?


Is this Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema or Non-cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema?

Non-cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema
Which type of aortic dissection is this?
