308 Unit 2 Lung Dise

QuestionAnswer
Aspiration Radiodense or radioaque outline EF: soft tissue technique for upper airway (-)
Atelectasis Radiodense lungs regions with shift of heart and trachea in servere cases EF: Increase
Bronchitis Hyperinflation and dominant lung markings of lower lungs EF: none
Bronchiectasis Radiodense lower lungs EF: none
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease COPD Depends on cause EF: changes only in severe cases
Cystic Fibrosis Increases radiodensities in specific lung regions EF: increase with severe conditions
Dyspnea (difficulty breathing) Depending on cause EF: dependent on cause
Emphysema Increased lung dimensions, barrel chest, flattened diaphragm, radiolucent lungs EF: Significantly decrease, dependent of severity
Epiglottitis Narrowing of upper airway at epiglottic region EF: soft tissue lateral technique (-)
Lung Neoplasm (Bengin- Hamartoma) Radiodensities with sharp outlines; mass may be calcified EF: none
Lung Neoplasm(Malignant) Slight shadows in early stages, larger defined radioqaque masses in advanced stages EF: none
Pleural effusion (Hydrothorax-in pleural cavity) Empyema-fluid in pus Hemothorax-fluid in blood increased radiodensity, air-fluid levels, possible mediastinal shifts EF: increase
Pleurisy Possible air-fluid levels, or none with dry pleurisy EF: none
Pneumonia (Aspiration, Bronchopneumonia, Lobar-pneumoococcal, Viral- interstitial Patchy infiltrate with increased radio density EF: none
Pneumothorax lungs seem displaced from chest wall, no lung markings EF: none
Pulmonary edea (fluid within lungs) increased diffuse radiodensity EF: increase in severe cases
Pulmonary emboli (sudden blockage of artery in lungs) rarely demonstrated on chest radiographs except for possible wedge shaped opacity (Hampton's hump) EF: none
Respiratory distress syndrome RDS or Hyaline Membrane Disease HMD in children Granular pattern of increased radiodensity throughout lungs, possible air-fluid levels EF: increase without obscuring pathology
Primary TB Small opaque spots throughout lungs; enlargement of hilar region in early stages EF: none
Reactivation (secondary) TB Regions of calcification with cavitations, frequently in area of upper lobes and apices with upward retraction of hila EF: none or slightly increased
Anthracosis- black lung (Occupational lung disease- pneumoconiosis) Small opaque spots throughout lungs EF: None
Asbestosis (Occupational lung disease-pneumoconiosis) Calcifications (radiodensities) involving the pleura EF: None
Silicosis (Occupational lung disease pneumoconiosis) (distinctive pattern of scarring and dense nodules EF: None

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
