25
Q

radiologic findings in ttn

A
  • fine perihilar streak opacities

- minimal coarse reticular opacities in the inner lung zones

26
Q

t/f ttn doesn’t need a repeat xray after symptoms subside

A

false, need to check if it resolved spontaneously

27
Q

t/f bacterial pneumonia is smore aggressive than viral

A

true

28
Q

radiologic findings in bacterial pneumonia

A
  • coarse, patchy parenchymal densities or peribronchial opacities
  • (+) consolidations
  • (+) air bronchograms
  • (+) pleural effusion
29
Q

radiologic findings in viral pneumonia

A

radiating parahilar streakiness

diffuse, hazy or reticulonodular opacities in both lungs

30
Q

old name for surfactant deficiency disease

A

hyaline membrane disease or rds

31
Q

radiologic findings in surfactant deficiency disease

A

ground glass opacities on both lungs

32
Q

t/f surfactant deficiency disease doesnt need an xray before administration of surfactsnt

A

false, needs xray because surfactant is expensive

33
Q

differential diagnosis for hyaline membrane disease

A

congenital heart lesions manifesting with pronounced pulmonary venous obstruction

34
Q

a hypoxia induced vagal response that results in increased gi peristaltic activity, more seen in postmature infants

A

meconium aspiration syndrome

35
Q

radiologic findings in meconium aspiration syndrome

A

lung overaeration

bilateral nodular densities

36
Q

congenital lobar overinflation is secondary to ___

A

segmental bronchial cartilage underdevelopment

37
Q

on pe, congenital lobar overinflation is seen as __

A

hyperresonant hemithorax

38
Q

radiologic findings in congenital lobar overinflation

A

40-45% left upper lobe, 30% right middle lobe, 20% right upper lobe

  • lobe is overdistended and lucent
  • shifting of mediastinum to contralateral side of involved lobe
39
Q

examples of active congestion

A

left to right shunts = reduced co = decreased tissue oxygenation

lesions with preferential blood flow to lower pressure pulmonary circulation

40
Q

passive congestion is seen in cases of pulmonary venous hypertension such as

A

left side myocardial dysfunction

left side obstructive lesions

41
Q

how to distinguish increased vs normal pulmonary vascularity

A

increased: hyperdensities in inner lung zones

42
Q

what happens in decreased pulmonary vascularity

A

r-l shunt -> less blood flow to lungs -> decreased tissue oxygenation -> cyanosis

cxr: pulmonary oligemia (cannot see pulmo vessels)

43
Q

radiographic findings in tof

A

boot shaped heart, upturned cardiac apex due to rvh

shop for a tof
