2. Abnormal Chest Views LUNG OPACITY
Homogenous:
a- Obliterating costophrenic angle and rising to axilla
1- Pleural effusion
Tracheal shift to opposite side
Massive (exceeds 2nd rib), moderate (between 2nd+4th rib), mild (below 2nd rib).
Look for fracture ribs to exclude hemorrhagic effusion
Obliterated costophrenic angle in P-A view first occurs when 200cc of fluid accumulates and 75cc in lat view
2- Hydropneumothorax: Horizontal fluid level
9. Abnormal Chest Views LUNG OPACITY
Homogenous:
b- Taking shape of a lobe
1- Consolidation (pneumonia)
Central trachea, normal lobe, normal ribs
2- Collapse:
Trachea shift (same side)
Shrunken lobe
Elevated diaphragm
Crowded ribs
27. Abnormal Chest Views LUNG OPACITY
Homogenous:
c- Coin shadow: “single rounded” describe 3s (site, size & shape)
1- Bronchogenic carcinoma – adenoma
2- Solitary metastases e.g. hypernephroma
3- Tuberculoma – gamma of syphilis – aspergilloma
4- Calcified cyst – foreign body
5- Pneumonic stage of lung abcess
31. APICAL SHADOW Pancoast tumor
Apical TB fibrosis
Pleural thickening
Klebsiella pneumonia (Friedlander pneumonia)
Apical collapse, fibrosis
34. Homogenous opacification of hemithorax Massive pleural effusion (+ shift of mediastinum to opposite side)
Total lung collapse (+ shift of mediastinum to same side)
