Chest X-rays should be checked for proper positioning and exposure. The lungs should be divided into upper, middle, and lower fields and compared bilaterally. Key areas to examine include the cardiophrenic angles, diaphragm contour, apices, and hilar regions. Vascular markings can indicate cardiac problems if lower lobe vessels are less prominent than upper lobe vessels. Specific findings like Kerley lines or an enlarged carinal angle can suggest conditions such as fluid in the lungs or left atrial enlargement.

Radiology of Pulmonary Hypertension
Radiology of Pulmonary HypertensionHatlan Al Hatlan This document discusses pulmonary hypertension and outlines various modalities used to diagnose it, including x-ray, CT, and echocardiography. By the time a diagnosis is made, 90% of patients will have an abnormal chest x-ray showing signs like an enlarged right ventricle, right atrium, and pulmonary vessels. CTPA provides detail of pulmonary vessels and can detect emboli, while HRCT is useful for underlying lung conditions. Echocardiography estimates pulmonary pressures, assesses right ventricular size and function, and can detect valve issues or shunts that may be causing pulmonary hypertension.
Radiology: Chest Imaging
Radiology: Chest ImagingSCGH ED CME - Four densities are seen on chest X-rays: black for air/gas, dark grey for fat, light grey for fluid/solid organs, and white for bone/calcium.

Cross sectional anatomy of chest by Dr. Milan Silwal, Resident, NAMS, Kathman...Milan Silwal The document provides information on the cross sectional anatomy of the chest, including the boundaries and divisions of the thorax and mediastinum. It describes the contents and boundaries of the superior, anterior, middle, and posterior mediastinum. It also discusses the lungs, bronchopulmonary segments, and six representative chest CT scan levels that are used to interpret mediastinal anatomy. Finally, it presents six clinical cases pertaining to conditions that may appear on chest imaging.

theaorta-180612135504.pdfssuserf59e1a The aorta is the largest artery that carries oxygenated blood from the left ventricle to the body. It can be divided into four sections - the ascending aorta, aortic arch, thoracic aorta, and abdominal aorta. The aortic arch has three major branches: the brachiocephalic trunk, left common carotid artery, and left subclavian artery. The descending thoracic aorta supplies branches to the posterior mediastinum and ends by passing through the aortic hiatus in the diaphragm to become the abdominal aorta.
Basic chest x ray interpretation
Basic chest x ray interpretationHiba Ashibany This document provides guidance on positioning and interpreting basic chest x-rays. It discusses typical views like PA and lateral chest x-rays. Additional views like decubitus and lordotic are also covered. The document reviews how to assess film quality and check for inspiration. It describes systematically checking the diaphragm, heart, hilum, lung fields and other structures. Specific findings like infiltrates, masses, air bronchograms and silhouette signs are addressed. The goal is to provide a structured approach to reading and interpreting chest x-rays.

Acidic, Basic, and
Neutral
Welcome to the fascinating world of acids and bases! Join siblings Ashwin and
Keerthi as they explore the colorful world of substances at their school's
National Science Day fair. Their adventure begins with a mysterious white paper
that reveals hidden messages when sprayed with a special liquid.
In this presentation, we'll discover how different substances can be classified as
acidic, basic, or neutral. We'll explore natural indicators like litmus, red rose
extract, and turmeric that help us identify these substances through color
changes. We'll also learn about neutralization reactions and their applications in
our daily lives.

YSPH VMOC Special Report - Measles Outbreak Southwest US 4-30-2025.pptxYale School of Public Health - The Virtual Medical Operations Center (VMOC) A measles outbreak originating in West Texas has been linked to confirmed cases in New Mexico, with additional cases reported in Oklahoma and Kansas. The current case count is 795 from Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Kansas. 95 individuals have required hospitalization, and 3 deaths, 2 children in Texas and one adult in New Mexico. These fatalities mark the first measles-related deaths in the United States since 2015 and the first pediatric measles death since 2003.
The YSPH Virtual Medical Operations Center Briefs (VMOC) were created as a service-learning project by faculty and graduate students at the Yale School of Public Health in response to the 2010 Haiti Earthquake. Each year, the VMOC Briefs are produced by students enrolled in Environmental Health Science Course 581 - Public Health Emergencies: Disaster Planning and Response. These briefs compile diverse information sources – including status reports, maps, news articles, and web content– into a single, easily digestible document that can be widely shared and used interactively. Key features of this report include:
- Comprehensive Overview: Provides situation updates, maps, relevant news, and web resources.
- Accessibility: Designed for easy reading, wide distribution, and interactive use.
- Collaboration: The “unlocked" format enables other responders to share, copy, and adapt seamlessly. The students learn by doing, quickly discovering how and where to find critical information and presenting it in an easily understood manner.

- 4. •check for rt and LT side •Looks whether is well centralized or not,...check for medial end of Clavicle ...both should be at equi level from spine..i f not then it difficult to comment about cardiomegaly, medistinal deviation.. whichever end is more close to spine-----mediastinum is deviated on that side... 6th ant rib level or 9th post rib level •look for exposure....if u see four spinal process then its well exposed...if over exposed then it looks translucent( like emphysema) •Looks for cardio and costophrenic angle...all should be acute...if nt then its abnormal....also look for Diaphragmatic contour...if flattened ---then probably some lung disease....Both diaohragm are at •divide the lungs field into 3 section....Upper: above the anterior end of 2nd rib.....middle: between 2nd anf 4th rib...lower: below 4th rib...compare both lung field... •check Apical area ...esp behind the Clavicle for TB lesion then check lower lung filed for all 4 angle,, •check trachea...and trace it upto carina...should be patent •Cardiac: Let side border is made by Aortic knob, pulm conus, lt atrium and Lt ventricle while rt side border is made by SVC and rt atrium •Vascular markings: Lower lobe vessels are more prominent compare to Upper lobe coz of Gravity...If not then Cardiac problem.. rt side vessels look more prominent than lt side... Points to be consider
- 5. • few other points... • how to say number of thoracic vertebra using chest xray??:--- check anterior end of 1st rib which is connected to 1st thoracic vertebera... • if engorged upper lobe vessels: probably it's puml veins...due to CCF • Kerly A line: prominent vascular markings in upper lobe • Kerly B lines: in Lower lobe of lungs on peripheral side ----which suggest fluid between septa... • Carinal Ange is around 90...any angle above 90 is abnormal probably coz of Lt atrial enlargement----( lt atrium lies just below carina) • batt wing's appearance: Enlargement of hilar vessels....in Acute pulm edema..
