Red notes Part I Flashcards
The 2 kinds of Pleural Mesothelioma
Benign localized form
Malignant diffuse form
This kind of mesothelioma is related to asbestos exposure
Malignant Diffues Form
This is the MC primary tumor of the pleura
Pleural Mesothelioma
Extrapleural sign on radiographs is associated with
Pleural MEsothelioma
The 3 layers a teratoma is composed of
ecto
endo
mesoderm
This is the 3rd MC site for teratom
Thorax
Intrathoracic teratomas are usally found in this part
Anterior mediatinum
Thymic mass in the anterior mediastinal
Thymoma
Thymic Cyst
Thymic Hyperplasia
This thymic mass is the most likely
Thymoma
This thymic mass is MC in infants and children
Thymic Hyperplasia
This disease is in 35% of patients w/ thymoma
Myasthenia Gravis
Sarcoidosis is MC in
Women
African American
This is when the respiratory system is affected as a result of systemic capillary damage
Adult Respiratory Distress Syndrome
ARDS leads to this affect in the capillaries
increase capillary permeability and pulmonary edema
Inciting agents for ARDS
Drug abuse
Smoke Inhalation
Transplants
This is an allergic lung disease do to occupational inhalation of organic agents
Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitis
Farmers lung
Moldy hay
Bird Fanciers disease
bird droppings
MC area of the lung affected by EAA
Upper lobe
This is a pulmonary disease caused by inhalation of inorganic dust and its accumulation in he lung
Pneumoconiosis
This type of pneumocomiosis goes away after you stop the exposure
Non-fibrogenic (benign)
Siderosis
weilders- Iron
Non fibrogenic
Silicosis
Coal miners-Silicon
Non fibrogenic
The two types of Fibrogenic (malignant) Pneumoconiosis
Black lung disease
Asbestos
The radiographic findings for Silicosis
“eggshell” pattern of calcification
This is a collection of air in the pleural space
Pneumothorax
This is the MC cause of pneumothorax
Traumatic
Bullae is
a collection of sir cyst in lung (ex. Emphysema)
Bleb is
a small bulla on edge of lung (ex: congential defect; primary spontaneous pneumothorax)
Crescent-shaped radiolucent shadow is assocaited with this
Pneumothorax
These two films demonstrate pneumothorax the best
Upright
Inspiratory
Expiratory
Cresent shaped radiolucent shadows are usually in
Upper lateral portion of lung
This is a multisystem aggregation of noncaseating (non destructive) epitheloid granulomas
Sarcoidosis
Lab test to confirm Sarcoidosis
biopsy
Kviem lab test
Stage 1 of Sarcoidosis
bilateral hilar lymphadenopathy
Stage 2 of Sarcoidosis
hilar and parenchymal nodules
Stage 3 of Sarcoidosis
Parenchymal nodules
Stage 4 of Sarcoidosis
Parenchymal Fibrosis
This is formed from urinary stasis
Bladder Calculi
This is the MC demograph affected by Bladder calculi
Elderly males
Bladder calculi can be associated with
carcinoma
Prostate Hypertrophy
Radiographic findings of bladder calculi
oval radiodense shadows in bladder
Phlebolith
stone in vein around the rectum
This is a concretion calcification in the luminal portion of the urinary tract, secondary to urinary stasis or lack of volume
Nephrolisthiasis
Nephrolisthiasis usually have this radiograph appearance
staghorn
Nephrolisthiasis are usually compsed of
calcium oxalate
Gallstones have this relation to spine of lateral films
Anteriro
This is the MC benign uterine tumor
Uterine Fibroma
Radiographic findings for uterine fibroma
popcorn
mulberry bush
cauliflower calcification
This are stones from an imbalance in the chemical composition of bile, where solid cholesterol fragments are form to stones
Cholelithiasis
Risk factors for Cholelithiasis
Sickle Cell aneima
Obesity
Age
Pregnancy
This is a referral pain for cholelithiasis
inferior border of right shoulder
Cholelithiasis is best identified by
ultrasound
Cholelithiasis has this apperance of films
Light bulb shape- RUQ
This finding can lesd to gallbladder carcinoma and leads to excision
Porcelain gallbladder
Tumor prevalence increses more for a colorectal carcinoma in
the distal colon
This cancer arsies from a malignant transformation of polps
Colerectal Carcinoma
This is the pereffered method of assesement for colrectal carcinoma
Optical coloscopy
The radiographoc findings for coloerectal carcinoma
Napkin ring
applecore deformity
Colorectal carinoma is worse when it is here be/c it shows no symptoms
outside of the lumen
This is an imortant clue for finding coloerectal carinoma
Rectal bleeding or hemocrit-postive stool
Leading sites of cancers in both gender
1 women=breast 1 men= prostate 2 both=lung 3 both= colon/rectum 5 both = hodkins
This is the Mc hiatal hernia
Sliding
Hiatal hernias are seen on plain film by
barium swallow
gastric bubble should below diaphragm
This can form in hiatal hernia
Barrett’s esophagus
Barrett’s esophagus is
valve becomes incompetent and develop reflux-causes rapid cell turnover-tumor
This is a calculus formation secondary to duct obstruction
Pancreatic Iithiasis
Pancreatic Iithiasis is related to this in 90% of cases
Alcohol
Pancreatic Iithiasis are seen here on plain films
L1-L2
L3 “crossing” the spine
Radiographic findings seen for Pancreatic Iithiasis
Stripple density that crosses spine
anterior to spine
This is the most accurate imaging for AAA
Ultrasonography
This is used for surgical mapping for AAA
CT
Normally the aorta is under
3cm
This is an infestation of Echinooccoccus granulomas parasite from immediate host of sheep, cattle, deer
Hydadtid Disease
Are Hydatid cyst slow or fast growing
slow growing
This is the best imaging to see a hydadtid disease
CT
Hydatid cyst are most found at this site
liver
spleen
The gold standard fo imgaing in intracranial injuries
CT
Subdural hematoma is d/t injury of
dural venous sinus
Subarachoid bleed is due to
injury of circle of willis
Epidural bleed is due to
injury of middle meningeal artery
This is a chronic, autoimmune demyelinating disirder that affects nerves of brain, spinal cord
MS
MS is MC in this gender
Women
This is the imgaing for MS
MRI
The MC giloma
Astrocytoma
Neurofibromatosis usually affects
Ectoderm/Mesoderm
This is a hernation of cerebellar tonsils into cervical spinal canal
Arnold-Chari Malformations
Arnold-Chari Malformation can be associated with
syrinomyelia
These are cyst due to dilations of the subarachnoid space surrounding a spinal nerve root
Tarlov or Arachnoid cyst
