MRI not widely used but can show malignancy especially We will look at actual films in the tutorials/practicals
Up to 40% off all radiological investigations are chest x-rays 60% are carried out in the ICU, Sensitivity; 50% of critically ill patients in Icu will have abnormal chest x-ray A systematic review is vital when interpretating x-rays however what order is not critical and you will come across varying orders
A chest x-ray forms a piece in the pulmonary examination, should refer to previous x-rays if available and if possible put in context of the other pulmonary findings
PA Standard investigation carried out in the x-ray dept Cassette anterior to chest, x-rays shot post-ant from 2 metres away, shoulders abducted to remove scapula Carried out in standing therefore better inspiration
Transverse fissure – 6 th rib laterally Does not estend beyond pulm artery medially Visible in 50%
AP Cassette placed behind the patient, portable machine Patient could be sitting in a chair, semi erect in bed, supine in bed. NOTE the patient position will affect the CXR Marked AP on film Heart enlarged often poorer expansion
