Dermal structures (nodules, nipples)
Costochondral junction remodeling

43
Q
A

Mineral opaque, often point but can be round
Often in lung periphery

47
Q
A

Pulmonary nodules

48
Q

How can you distinguish pulmonary osteomas and pulmonary nodules?

A

Nodules: usually round and smooth, soft tissue opaque, similar opacity as similar size vessel
Osteomas: sharp edges/weird shapes, mineral opaque, will be visible at a smaller size

49
Q
A

End on vessel
Same size as vessel, more opaque than a same-size soft tissue nodule

50
Q
A

End on vessel
Same size as vessel, more opaque than a same-size soft tissue nodule

51
Q

Compare the appearance of end-on vessels vs end-on airways

A

Vessels will be very opaque, in the path of a vessel
Airways will be lucent because they contain stack of gas
