Q

Lung lesions are better detected in the

non-dependent (up) lung because it’s better aerated with

gas which provides contrast. Therefore

_____ view is best for Caudal Lung Lobes

and

_____ view is best for Right Lung Lobes

A

DV view is best for Caudal Lung Lobes

and

LEFT Lateral view is best for Right Lung Lobes

Q

When air is squashed out of the lung, it is known as

A

Atelectasis

17
Q

Total Atelectasis is known as

A

Lung collapse

18
Q

The phenomenon of air-filled bronchi (dark) being made visible by the opacification of surrounding alveoli (grey/white). It is almost always caused by a pathologic airspace/alveolar process, in which something other than air fills the alveoli.

A

Air bronchogram

19
Q

when there is a loss of distinct borders of 2 objects of the same opacity that are touching each other

A

Border effacement

20
Q

______________ Distribution

of consolidation occurs because of spread of infection across segmental boundaries

A

Lobar

21
Q

Atelectasis vs. Consolidation:

Which has increased soft tissue opacity as a sign?

A

BOTH

22
Q

Atelectasis vs. Consolidation

Which has a decreased size of the lung lobe?

A

Atelectasis

23
Q

In atelectasis, the heart shifts

towards the _____

A

ribs

24
Q

What is the primary differences between atelectasis and consolidation?

A

In atelectasis, the lung lobes appear smaller and the

heart shifts towards the ribs.

In consolidation, the lung lobes are either normal or increased in size

and the heart does not shift

25
Q

Mediastinal shift is best seen on which view?

A

DV/VD

26
Q

Describe the mediastinal shift associated with lung atelectasis

A

it shifts to the side of the collapsed lung

27
Q

Describe the mediastinal shift associated with a thoracic mass

or fluid

A

shifts to the opposite side of the mass or fluid and the lung compensates

28
Q

What are the differentials for a focal lesion distribution in the thorax?

A

abscess

granuloma

neoplasia

29
Q

What are the differentials for multifocal lesion distribution in the thorax?

A

Neoplasia

Abscess

Fungal Granuloma

Parasitic

30
Q

Mineralization will show this type of lung pattern

A

Bronchial pattern

31
Q

________ _________ are present when a sharp line of demarcation is noted between a lung lobe that is opaque (consolidated)

and adjacent to one that is either normally aerated or near normally aerated.

A

Lobar signs

32
Q

_____ ________ are seen when a patient has

fluid accumulation in the alveoli and parenchyma

and as a result, the affected lung lobe is radiopaque

compared to its radiolucent adjacent lobes.

A

Lobar signs

33
Q

The presence of a ___ ___ indicates

alveolar disease due to the presence of exudates, edema, and/or hemorrhage in that area.

A

lobar sign
