  2. Objectives: Basic Radiology 101 Film Interpretation Appreciate the role radiology plays Artifacts in X-Rays

  3. Contents: Densities Techniques Anatomy CXR Interpretation Common Pathologies Questions

  4. Densities The big two densities are: (1) WHITE - Bone (2) BLACK - Air The others are: (3) DARK GREY- Fat (4) GREY- Soft tissue/water And if anything Man-made is on the film, it is: (5) BRIGHT WHITE - Man-made

  5. Techniques - Projection P-A (relation of x-ray beam to patient)

  6. Techniques - Projection (continued) A-P Supine/Erect

  41. Technical Details Type Orientation Rotation Inspiration/expiration Penetration

  42. Lungs: Lungs Density Symmetry Lesions

  43. Heart Size:

  44. Heart Size of heart Size of individual chambers of heart Size of pulmonary vessels Evidence of stents, clips, wires and valves Outline of aorta and IVC and SVC

  45. Mediastinum: Width Contour AP window Hila: • Size • Location

  46. Review areas: Apices Behind the heart CP angles Below the diaphragm Soft tissues ( breast, surgical emphysema) Ribs & clavicle Vertebrae

  47. Identify the lesion → localise the lesion → describe the lesion → give DDNever stop looking, carry on with your systematic approach!!

  48. Pathology

  49. RUL pneumonia

  50. RML pneumonia
