    Rullis Dwi I
    This document provides an overview of chest x-ray interpretation. It discusses the key positions used for chest x-rays including posterior-anterior, lateral, and lateral decubitus. The document outlines the structures that should be analyzed on a chest x-ray such as the heart, lungs, trachea, and diaphragm. Common abnormal findings are also summarized, including pulmonary opacities, consolidation, atelectasis, cavities, emphysema, and pneumothorax. Key aspects of interpreting a chest x-ray include identifying structures, assessing position and inspiration, and evaluating for any conditions.

    CHEST IMAGING OF

    RADIOLOGY-IMAGING
    THE CHEST X RAY

    Lecture Radiology
    by FAI

    Introduction
    How to interpretation
    chest x ray ?

    Remember

    IPIC

    I : Indentification
    P :Position
    I : Inspiration
    C : Condition

    Positioning

    Four major positions are utilized for


    producing a chest radiograph:

    Posterior-anterior (PA)
    Lateral
    Anterior-posterior (AP)
    Lateral Decubitus

    Lateral Decubitus

    How to analyze the chest X-ray


    Heart
    Trachea
    Mediastinum superior, anterior, medial, posterior
    Hilum
    Lung fields upper, mid, lower
    Diaphragm
    Costophrenic angle
    Bony thorax ribs, clavicles,
    scapulae, thoracic vertebrae

    Interpretation guide
    Examination thorax PA
    CTR <50%. Large and shape
    normal heart.
    Trachea in the middle. Both hila are not enlarge/
    thickening.
    Bronchovascular pattern are not increase.
    There are no infiltrates or nodules in both of lung
    Diaphragm smooth.
    Costophrenic angle acute.
    Both bone and soft tissue are good.

    Imaging

    Common Abnormal Finding on


    Chest X Ray

    Pulmonary opacity
    area that preferentially
    attenuates the x-ray
    beam
    Area that more opaque
    than the surrounding
    area

    Consolidation
    The lung is said to be consolidated when the
    alveoli and small airways are filled with dense
    material.
    This dense material may consist of:
    Pus (pneumonia)
    Fluid (pulmonary edema)
    Blood (pulmonary hemorrhage)
    Cells (cancer)

    Atelectasis
    Almost always associated with a linear
    increased density due to volume loss
    Indirect indications of volume loss
    include vascular crowding or
    mediastinal shift toward the collapse
    Possible observance of hilar elevation
    with an upper lobe collapse, or a hilar
    depression with a lower lobe collapse

    ABNORMAL PULMONARY LUCENCY


    Cavity
    Emphisema
    Pneumothorax

    CAVITY;
    a gas-filled space, seen as a lucency or lowattenuation area, within pulmonary
    consolidation, a mass, or a nodule
    usually produced by the expulsion or drainage
    of a necrotic part of the lesion via the bronchial
    tree

    EMPHYSEMA;
    Permanently enlarged
    airspaces distal to the terminal
    bronchiole with destruction of
    alveolar walls

    Pneumothorax
    Appears in the chest radiograph
    as air without lung markings.
