Imaging findings in atelectasis (e.g., chest x-ray, CT chest): evidence of lobar collapse ; [3] Direct signs: displacement of fissures and homogeneous opacification of the collapsed lobe Indirect signs Elevation of ipsilateral diaphragm Displacement of the hilum and mediastinal structures towa...
Findings are similar to chestX-rayPenetrating electromagnetic radiation emitted when the inner orbital electrons of an atom are excited and release radiant energy. X-ray wavelengths range from 1 pm to 10 nm. Hard x-rays are the higher energy, shorter wavelength x-rays. Soft x-rays or grenz ...
What does atelectasis look like on chest xray? Findings on an x-ray suggestive of atelectasis includedisplacement of fissures, rib crowding, elevation of ipsilateral diaphragm, volume loss on ipsilateral hemithorax, hilar displacement and compensatory hyperlucency of the remaining lobes. What is the m...

A chest x-ray is the primary way to diagnose a pneumothorax. Generally two chest x-rays will be taken, one on inspiration and one on expiration. This allows to better visualize the collapsed lung. An additional CT scan may be required. Ultrasound may also be used. 269 Words 2 Pages Sati...
Physical findings were normal. Hemogram, liver enzymes, serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) were within the refer- ence values. Chest x-ray showed a 2 cm round pleural based opacity. Pulmonary function tests were normal. Arterial blood gases revealed mild hy- poxemia (pO2: 76 mm...

Atelectasis and pneumothorax can both cause shortness of breath and chest pain; however, they're distinct diagnoses with disparate findings on chest films and require different treatments. This lesson will compare and contrast atelectasis, which o...
The patient’s chest X-ray showed severe elevation of the right hemidiaphragm secondary to the dilated loop of the colon, collapsed right lung, and shifting of the mediastinum to the left (Fig.5). The abdominal X-ray demonstrated multiple air fluid levels (Fig.5). We have not come across...
