Radiographs Flashcards

Kartagener Syndrome

Primary pneuomothorax







A Normal CT scan:
- there is a heart
- there are central vascular and airway markings
• The rest is lung parenchyma with LOTS of gas (air)

Reverse batwing

What causes batwing infiltrates?

What causes reverse batwing infiltrates?
- anything favoring peripheral involvement
- fibrosis (ex. idiopathic)
- Sarcoidosis





A normal chest X-ray (CXR):
- There are overlying bone structures
- There is overlying soft tissue
- There is a heart
- There are central vascular and airway markings
• The rest is lung parenchyma with LOTS of gas (air)

adenocarcinoma in situ - ground glass appearance



Mucinous adenocarcinoma
What type of pulmonary edema gives a bat wing central distribution? white out?
a. hydrostatic - back up due to CHF
b. permeative - ARDS; diffuse process affects entire lung

Batwing

Lobar Pneumonia
- typically s pneumo, s aureus, gram negatives
- more likely to abscess then bronchopneumonia


Bronchiectasis
-abnormal, persistent widening of airways, often with extension into the peripheral lung fields.
Bronchopneumonia
Tree in bud






Bronchiectasis - DDX
• Cystic fibrosis
• Allergic bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis (ABPA)
- Chronic infections (tuberculosis)
- Primary ciliary dyskinesia (Kartagener Syndrome)
• Young’s syndrome


Atelectasis - resportion type (due to it being wedge shaped)
- ex: peanut, mucus, squamous carcinoma (endobronchial tumor), carcinoid tumor




What type of nodules can we see on CXR?




Red Hepatization - Lobar pneumonia
