Difference between Bronchiectasis vs Follicular Bronchiolitis vs Bronchiolitis Obliterans vs Pan-bronchiolitis vs Chronic Bronchitis?
Bronchiectasis: Irreversible DILATATION & THICKENING of bronchi with recurrent pneumonia
Follicular Bronchiolitis: RA & Sjogren. DILATED bronchi with GGO.
Constrictive Bronchiolitis/Bronchiolitis Obliterans: Toxins/rejected lung transplant. NARROW bronchi with air trapping
Pan-bronchiolitis: Haemophilus/Pseudomonas. Tree-in-bud nodules.
Chronic bronchitis (excessive mucous/cough) with emphysema (distal air space enlargement), over-inflation with flattening of diaphragm in COPD.
Measurements in pulmonary arterial HTN?
Systolic pulmonary artery pressure >30mmHg
Mean pulmonary artery pressure >35mmHg
Pulmonary artery >29mm
Pulmonary artery size > aorta
Difference between acute vs chronic vs massive PE, incomplete vs complete PE
Acute = Central clot, venous dilation, pleural effusion
Chronic = Peripheral clot, shrunken veins, pulmonary HTN
Incomplete = no tissue necrosis, healing within days
Complete = tissue necrosis, healing by scar formation
Massive = PE with hypotension
Findings in Pulmonary Veno-occlusive Disease (PVOD)?
PVODS = PAH, Vessel enlargement, Oedema, Dilated heart, Septal thickening
Pleural masses: large solitary well-defined lobulated pleural mass dx
Solitary fibrous tumour
Pleural masses: Pleural thickening, pleural effusion, calcs

Thymoma (thymus adenoma)
Anterior Mediastinal Mass: Looks like fatty beef
Thymolipoma
Anterior Mediastinal Mass: Hypoattenuating with well defined margin
Thymic cyst
Anterior Mediastinal Mass: Multiple LN, no organ involvement
Hodgkins Lymphoma (B-cell lymphoma)
Anterior Mediastinal Mass: Multiple LN, other organs involved
Non-hodgkins Lymphoma
Anterior Mediastinal Mass: Big lobulated mass with testicle atrophy
