Q

Imaging modality and views?

A

A = PA CXR

B = lateral CXR (most sensitive view to look for a small pleural effusion)

C = L lateral decubitus (L side of pleura is thickened = free-flowing L pleural effusion) –> fluid on dependent L side shifts during a pleural effusion (see space between the lateral rib margins & the pleura)

17
Q

Imaging modality and view?

abnormality?

A
  • PA CXR
  • Large R pneumothorax
18
Q

Imaging modality and view?

describe abnormalities

A

AP CXR

Tension pneumothorax

19
Q

imaging modality and view?

abnormality

  • how old i the patient?
A

Lateral CXR

osteophytes that are bridging between vertebrae –> aka syndesmophytes

This is an older patient –> can tell on imaging

20
Q

Imaging modality and view?

  • abnormalities?
A

PA CXR

Air under the diaphragm is abnormal (an emergency with the exception of a post-op laparoscopic surgery –> abdomen would be inflated)

This older patient has a bowel perforation
