For example, a file of a chest x-ray image may contain the patient ID within the file, so that the image can never be separated from this information by mistake. This is similar to the way that image formats such as JPEG can also have embedded tags to identify and otherwise describe the image.
In this situation, mobile X-ray equipment is used to obtain a lying down chest x-ray (known as a "supine film"). As a result, most supine films are also AP. Lateral views of the chest are obtained in a similar fashion as the posteroanterior views, except in the lateral view, the patient stands with both arms raised and the left side of the ...
Decreased chest–chest movement on the affected side; An increased jugular venous pressure, indicating possible right heart failure [5] The anterior and posterior chest wall are also inspected for any abnormalities, which may include: Kyphosis, abnormal anterior-posterior curvature of the spine [6] Scoliosis, abnormal lateral curvature of the ...
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.
For example, the effective dosage of a chest x-ray is 0.1 mSv, while an abdominal CT is 10 mSv. [15] The American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM) have stated that the "risks of medical imaging at patient doses below 50 mSv for single procedures or 100 mSv for multiple procedures over short time periods are too low to be detectable ...
While the chest x-ray is normal in the majority of PE cases, [2] the Westermark sign is seen in 2% of patients. [3] Essentially, this is a plain X-ray version of a filling defect as seen on computed tomography pulmonary arteriogram. The sign results from a combination of: the dilation of the pulmonary arteries proximal to the embolus and
The main chest X-ray findings that can suggest inactive TB are: [2] 1. Discrete fibrotic scar or linear opacity—Discrete linear or reticular densities within the lung. The edges of these densities should be distinct and there should be no suggestion of airspace opacification or haziness between or surrounding these densities.
