The heart becomes enlarged and will sometimes begin to resemble a boot kicking out towards the left lung region.  ]]> 2021-11-09 02:11:52 UTC https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1876923610 macmahanjoy3 https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1876926697 COVID-19
Hazy appearance of both lungs with glass like opacities. Appearance of this haziness will more than likely occur first in the posterior lung bases. ]]> 2021-11-09 02:13:11 UTC https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1876926697 macmahanjoy3 https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1876927797 Pneumonia can have different appearances. This image has a white patchiness that is visible in the base of the right lung. You are still able to see lung below the patchiness which is a clear indication that the patchiness seen is not pathology such as a hemothorax, that would present with the lung being filled with fluid or a solid white at the base of the lung. ]]> 2021-11-09 02:13:36 UTC https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1876927797 macmahanjoy3 https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1876928493 Normal CXR.
This CXR image is normal or described as NAD, No active disease. The lungs do not have excess fuzziness or white patches, the lung markings are seen bilaterally, and the lungs are properly aerated with a proper inspiration.]]> 2021-11-09 02:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1876928493 macmahanjoy3 https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1876937805 Left lung pneumothorax.
The left lung in this image is more black compared to the right. There is also the absence of lung markings on the left lung as seen in the right. Sometimes a ball or formation of deflated lung will group together in the lung and will resemble a deflated balloon appearance.]]> 2021-11-09 02:17:47 UTC https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1876937805 macmahanjoy3 https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1880933211 Can you name the common chest x-ray Pathology?

Here you will learn the common chest x-ray pathologies and a quick overview on how to distinguish what the pathology will tend to look like on Radiographs. ]]> 2021-11-10 10:47:01 UTC https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1880933211 macmahanjoy3 https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1880946644 Left middle lobe lung mass.
You can distinguish a lung mass by its circular nature. Tumors can form in any part of the lung.]]> 2021-11-10 10:55:36 UTC https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1880946644 macmahanjoy3 https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1900024446 On CXR images that contain pneumothoraces, deflated lung, the anatomy within the thoracic cavity can get pushed out of the normal position therefore creating anatomical distortion. For example in this drawing I am representing the yellowish deflated lung on the right, whereas it could push the heart, represented by the red on the drawing, which can mimic an enlarged heart or cardiomegaly. ]]> 2021-11-18 16:39:24 UTC https://padlet.com/macmahanjoy3/pql2oru4vumvs4xd/wish/1900024446
