Lingular pneumonia
Modality
Describe
CXR PA view
Opacification in the left lung with loss of cardiac silhouette, no shifting
Next = lateral view to confirm lingular pneumonia
Rt middle lobe pneumonia
Lingular pneumonia
Confirmed by :
X Ray lateral view
Opacification in the left upper & middle zone of the lung with loss silhouette sign , no shifting
Dx :
Sign can be seen :
Left upper & lingular pneumonia
Air bronchogram
CT lung window axial
Describe pneumonia in the RT lung
Opacification in the Rt lung with air bronchogram
Characters of lung collapse by CXR :
-Homogenous Opacifiation of the Lung zone
- Midline shifting toward the collapse
- displaced hila & fissures
- altered proportion of the rt & left lung
Opacification in RT upper lobe with Ipsilateral tracheal shifting
Dx: RT upper lobe collapse
Next step :
CT with contrast looking for underlying cancer
Homogenous opacification in the left lung with Ipsilateral tracheal shifting
Dx :
Next step :
Ddx:
Left lung atelectasis
CT mediastinal window with IV contrast
Ddx : atelectasis , pneumonectomy
Features of loss of lung volume :
Decrease in intercostal spaces
Mediastinal shifting ipsilaterally
Elevation of the diaphragm
Altered proportion between right & left lung
Uses of hysterosalpingiogram
Assess patency of fallopian tubes.
Detect the congenital uterine anomalies
Types of bronchiactasis
Cylindrical
Cystic
Varicose
Congenital
X ray signs of Aortic Rupture :
Obscured Aortic knuckle
Depressed left main bronchus
Shifting of the trachea to the right
Wide mediastinum
Pneumothorax
Causes of intestinal obstruction
Mechanical (ABC)
Adhesion
Bowel strangulation “ hernia, volvulus”
Cancer
Paralytic : paralytic illeus , incompetence of illeocecal valve
Advantages of CXR PA view
Avoid radiological exposure to breast , thyroid , eyes s
Avoid heart magnification
Can centralize the patient
Patient can hold inspiration
Elemenate the anterior surface of the scapula
