308 Unit 2 Lung Dise
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| 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 |
