    A chest radiograph, chest X-ray (CXR), or chest film is a projection radiograph of the chest used to diagnose conditions affecting the chest, its contents, and nearby structures. Chest radiographs are the most common film taken in medicine.

  3. ST segment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ST_segment

    Schematic representation of normal ECG In electrocardiography , the ST segment connects the QRS complex and the T wave and has a duration of 0.005 to 0.150 sec (5 to 150 ms). It starts at the J point (junction between the QRS complex and ST segment) and ends at the beginning of the T wave.

    For example, if the reader thinks the x-ray being read has profusion most like the standard x-ray for category 1, but serious considered category 2 as an alternative description of the profusion, then the reading is 1/2. Close-up right lower zone 2/2 S/S Large opacities: A large opacity is defined as any opacity greater than 1 cm in diameter.

    Auscultation shows crackles or wheezing. Oxygen saturation usually shows hypoxemia. In most cases chest radiological examination shows signs of pulmonary edema, but a significant minority have a normal initial chest X-Ray. [3] Rapid resolution of initial signs and symptoms within 48 hours is typical.

  6. Costodiaphragmatic recess - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costodiaphragmatic_recess

    Chest x-ray is the first test done to confirm an excess of pleural fluid. The lateral upright chest x-ray should be examined when a pleural effusion is suspected. In an upright x-ray, 75 mL of fluid blunts the posterior costophrenic angle. Blunting of the lateral costophrenic angle usually requires about 175 mL but may take as much as 500 mL.

    Allergic bronchopulmonary aspergillosis; Other names: ABPA, Hinson-Pepys disease.

    As the disease progresses, the lung fields become progressively more dense (white) on the chest xray, and low oxygen level, lung inflammation and fibrosis, elevated pressures in the lung blood vessels, and respiratory failure ensue, usually in middle age.

    [5] [9] [12] [13] Radiological findings are nonspecific, with normal appearance on chest X-ray in up to 20% of patients. [7] Lung biopsy is not part of the routine diagnostic workup of tropical pulmonary eosinophilia. [2]
