Radiographic Findings Flashcards
Identifying lesions for certain radiographic patterns
Bronchial Pattern Radiographic Finding
End/on and cross sectional view of airways (donuts)
longitudinal view of airways (tramlines)
Peribronchial cuffing
opacity around airways
Bronchial pattern
disease in the airway
Interstitial pattern
disease in the interstitium
Alveolar pattern
disease in the alveoli
Vascular pattern
disease causing a change in the diameter of the the vessels
What change allows you to visualize the bronchial wall?
calcification of the bronchial cartilage and cellular infiltrate around bronchi and bronchioles
Differentials for Bronchial Pattern
Chronic bronchitis
Allergic bronchitis
Feline asthma
Bronchial calcification
2 types of Structured Interstitial Pattern
nodular and military
Classification of Interstitial Pattern
Diffuse/Generalized
Focal/localized
Multifocal
Differentials for Unstructured Interstitial Pattern(FOCAL)
Atelectasis Contusion Hemorrhage Pulmonary embolism Airway obstruction Interstitial pneumonia Interstitial edema Parasitic migration
Differential for Unstructured Interstitial Pattern (General/Diffuse)
Pneumonitis Viral-distemper Parasitic migration Interstitial pneumonia Interstitial edema Toxic Inhalation-allergy/smoke Metabolic
Abbreviation for Structured Interstitial Pattern
Cyst Hematoma Abscess Neoplasia Granuloma
Alveolar Pattern Radiographic Findings
air bronchograms
lobar sign
increased pulmonary opacity without sharp margins
Alveolar Pattern Differentials
Aspiration pneumonia Bronchopneumonia Lung lobe torsion Cardiogenic pulmonary edema Non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema Atelectasis Pulmonary hemorrhage
