-
What is a pneumothorax and how is it characterized radiographically?
jjj
-
it is characterized by a longer chest and abdomen
"hypersthenic patient"
-
How do pathologic conditions like atelectasis and COPD appear radiographically?
"increased lung dimensions, barrel chest with depressed and flat- tened diaphragm obscuring costophrenic angles, and an elongated heart shadow. Lung fields appear very radiolucent, requiring a significant decrease in exposure factors from a normal chest, even with the increased chest dimensions."
-
Radiographic anatomy of the chest is divided into what three sections :
bony thorax, respiratory system proper, and mediastinum
-
pharynx is
passageway for food and fluids as well as air,
-
"The hilum (hilus) , also known as the root region, is the
central area of each lung, where the bronchi, blood vessels, lymph vessels, and nerves enter and leave the lungs."

How do pathologic conditions like atelectasis and COPD appear radiographically?
increased lung dimensions, barrel chest with depressed and flat- tened diaphragm obscuring costophrenic angles, and an elongated heart shadow
