Imaging: Cardiovascular Imaging II Flashcards
1
Q
What is the Hampton hump?
A
- Westermark sign: focal peripheral hyperlucency secondary to oligemia resulting in a collapsed appearance of vessels distal to the occlusion.
2
Q
How is chest x-ray used in acute pulmonary embolism?
A
3
Q
What do you see here?
A
4
Q
What is shown here?
A
5
Q
Where are the aortic and mitral valves here?
A
6
Q
What kind of pacemaker is described?
- Has at least one right ventricular lead, one left ventricular lead and may have a right atrial lead as well.
- The left ventricular lead traverses the coronary sinus into a posterior or lateral cardiac vein
- This allows access to the lateral left ventricle wall for left ventricular pacing.

9
Q
What is shown here?
A

12
Q
Name the Pacemaker/ICD Complication
A
13
Q
What is shown at the arrow?
A
eccentric clot
14
Q
What device is described?
- Capable of generating a large amount of electrical energy in a single output used to defibrillate the heart.
- If the device senses a tachyarrhythmia such as ventricular tachycardia or ventricular fibrillation, it sends a defibrillation shock to cardiovert the heart.
A
15
Q
What kind of pacemaker is this?
A
Single Lead Ventricular Pacemaker VVI
16
Q
What is the Palla sign?
A
- enlargement of the descending interlobar branch of the right pulmonary artery, causing a “sausage” appearance towards right middle lobe.
