CCR Episode 2 Chest X Ray Search Pattern
The Chest X ray. The most ubiquitous of all radiographic studies. There is a TON to them and more than I am able to cover in one sitting. In this episode we talk about a search pattern adapted from Ben Felson's Chest book.
All The Many Lungs Lines
Abdomen, Thorax, Mediastinum, Lung (unilateral) Lung (again, compared to the other lung) and Lines (invasive devices)
We talk about the radiographic anatomy and putting eyeballs on all parts of the film
We touch on the difference between a PA and an AP chest xray and why they look different.
The lateral chest x ray and specific pathologies (ie bacterial pneumonia, atelectasis) will be covered later
