❤️HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY⁣ ⁣ Reposted with love from @theradiologistpage...because it’s awesome:) ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ “Let’s review the anatomy of the coronary arteries we can see here...⁣ ⁣ ‍The left main stem arises from the left coronary cusp and bifurcates into the left circumflex and left anterior descending artery - the left circumflex travels within the left atrioventricular groove between the left atrium and left ventricle as can be seen here ⁣ ⁣ ‍The left circumflex artery supplies the lateral/posterolateral left ventricle⁣ ⁣ ‍On this view you can see two bulges at the aortic valve (below the larger ‘face’!) - the so called sinuses of Valsalva - there are three of these. Eddy currents generated by these play an important role in closure of the aortic valve. They are named after the Italian anatomist Antonio Maria Valsalva who described the role of these sinuses in the 1700s. You may recognise the name as he also described the Valsalva manoeuvre. ⁣ ⁣ ‍Who though has more recently been credited with describing the role of the sinuses of Valsalva before Antonio Valsalva got to it, back in the 1500s? The answer may surprise you...⁣” ⁣ ⁣ —————⁣ ⁣ #theradiologist #radiology #radiologist #physician #physicianassistant #medicine #medstudent #medicalstudent #medschool #medicalschool #radtech #mri #xray #valentines #radiography #radiologystudent #doctor #medicalstudents #interventionalradiology #chestxray #surgeon #medic #frcr #mcat #usmle #medlife #exams #premed⁣

TAKE NOTE OF...⁣ ____________________⁣ ⁣ ‍At this level as well as the trachea and the oesophagus you should see 5 vessels: the three vessels arising from the arch of the aorta (although variants in arrangement occur) the brachiocephalic trunk on the right and the left common carotid artery and the left subclavian artery on the left. You will see the banana shaped left brachiocephalic vein (LBV) anterior to this joining the right brachiocephalic vein (RBV) to form the superior vena cava - on this slice the LBV has connected with the RBV to form the SVC.⁣ ⁣ ‍At this level you can see the right and left upper lobes of before the oblique fissures come in dividing them from the lower lobes ⁣ ⁣ ‍The rotator cuff surrounding the scapula is partially seen - in addition to supraspinatus and subscapularis seen here, teres major and infraspinatus make up the remainder of the muscles (Mnemonic for rotator cuff muscles: SITS)⁣ ⁣ ❤️❤️DOUBLE TAP TO SEE MORE ANATOMY POSTS LIKE THIS ⁣ ⁣ ________________________________________⁣ ⁣ #theradiologist #radiology #radiologist #physician #physicianassistant #medicine #medstudent #medicalstudent #medschool #medicalschool #radtech #whitecoat #anatomy #xray #medical #radiography #anatomydrawing #doctor #medicalstudents #anatomyandphysiology #chestxray #surgeon #medic #frcr #plab #mcat #usmle #medlife #exams #premed

‍Occipito-mental radiograph of the facial bones⁣ ⁣ ‍The facial bone X-ray can be a confusing one to assess with so much opportunity for composite shadowing - it is important to employ a robust system to assess for fractures⁣ ⁣ ‍In nasal bone fractures (most common), mandible, zygoma and orbital fractures we cover over 98% of the most frequent traumatic facial bone fractures. Considering that nasal bone fractures are difficult to assess for on a facial bone X-ray let us consider the other pattern of fracture⁣ ⁣ ‍Zygomaticomaxillary complex fractures or tripod fractures occur due to a direct blow to the cheek. Classically this involves multiple fractures involving the:⁣ 1️⃣Lateral orbital wall with possible widening of the fronto-zygomatic suture⁣ 2️⃣Zygomatic arch⁣ 3️⃣Inferior orbital wall⁣ ⁣ ‍The fractures are usually more complex on CT and can extend to the skull base. Definition of a ‘quadripod’ fracture vary but can be considered when the fracture is displaced⁣ ⁣ ‍Orbital blow out fractures involve blunt trauma with an object larger than the orbital aperature - often a punch! On X-ray we may see a black eyebrow sign (lucency at the top of the orbit) due to gas in the orbit as well as a teardrop sign - soft tissue protruding below the inferior orbital rim due to herniation of orbital fat or the inferior rectus muscle⁣ ⁣ ‍It is important to have a system to assess the facial bone X-Ray - personally I find McGrigor’s lines difficult to remember which is why I use another system to try and pick up the main fractures encountered - swipe to see this and let me know what you think!⁣ ⁣ ❤️❤️DOUBLE TAP TO SEE MORE ANATOMY POSTS LIKE THIS ⁣ ⁣ ———⁣ ⁣ #theradiologist #radiology #radiologist #physician #physicianassistant #medicine #medstudent #medicalstudent #medschool #medicalschool #radtech #whitecoat #mri #xray #medical #radiography #radiologystudent #doctor #medicalstudents #interventionalradiology #chestxray #surgeon #medic #frcr #anatomy #anatomyandphysiology #usmle #medlife #exams #premed⁣

#Repost @theradiologistpage with @get_repost ・・・ Read on for a strategy I use for assessing a ‘horizontal beam lateral (HBL)’ view of the knee⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ‍The HBL view is used in acute knee pain - the patient is supine and ideally the knee is flexed by approximately 30 degrees. This is the ideal view to pick up lipohaemarthrosis which can represent an intra-articular fracture⁣ ⁣ ‍My review usually goes through:⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣SOFT TISSUE: any swelling?⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣LIPOHAEMARTHROSIS: this represents escape of fat and blood into the knee joint due to a fracture. You are looking for layering of fat (more dark) over blood (more light) superior to the patella with a straight line between the two⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣PATELLA: firstly look for signs of fracture and then assess its alignment - does it lie too high or too low? The Insall-Salvati ratio can be used to assess this when the knee is flexed by 30 degrees - we can divide the length of the patella tendon by the length of the patella (tendon length/patella length). Any figure over 1.2 and suspect ‘patella alta’ - a high riding patella which may be secondary to patella tendon injury. Anything under 0.8 and you have ‘patella baja’ which also can be associated with an acute injury⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣FEMORAL CONDYLES: it can be difficult to distinguish the femoral condyles on the lateral view - I use the adductor tubercle, a thickened part of the medial condyle where the adductor magnus muscle inserts to help me decide which is which. Anteriorly look for a notch in one of the condyles - this usually marks out the lateral femoral condyle. Look for any disruption in the cortex that may represent a fracture⁣ ⁣ 5️⃣JOINT SPACE: look for any fragments of bone that could represent an acute fracture or calcification that could represent chondrocalcinosis⁣ ⁣ Finish by outlining all the remaining bone cortices and assessing the bone for masses ⁣ ⁣ CHECK OUT @theradiologistpage FOR MORE ANATOMY CASES⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ———⁣ #theradiologistanatomy⁣ ⁣ #radiology #theradiologist #medicalstudent #orthopaedics #nursepractitioner #kneexray #xray #surgery #medschool #radtech #fisioterapeuta #fisio #fisioterapia #med #enfermagem

‍A 36 year old male presents with a productive cough - what is the diagnosis? Have a look then swipe left and read on for the answer....⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ LEFT LOWER LOBE CONSOLIDATION⁣ ‍You may recognise this case from the recent on call test! This case highlights the importance of checking behind the heart on every Chest X-ray you see.⁣ ⁣ ‍I must admit I didn’t properly review this area before I was a radiologist but now it is always part of my systematic review. Not only do I look behind the heart but I’m sure to window the X-ray to highlight any lesion that he may say stop⁣ ⁣ ‍It is important to be comfortable with the PACS system that you are using - usually the middle button controls windowing but it’s also good to be comfortable with the controls for zoom and pan.⁣ ⁣ ‍The ‘loss of silhouette sign’ or silhouette sign for short is such an important part of reading Chest X-Rays ⁣ ⁣ ‍If a contour is lost it implies there is a pathology such as consolidation or collapse in that region - this lets us localise the pathology. If the following are lost we know the pathology lies in....⁣ ▫️Right hemidiaphragm - right lower lobe⁣ ▫️Left hemidiaphragm - left lower lobe ⁣ ▫️Right heart border - right middle lobe ⁣ ▫️Left heart border - lingula ⁣ ▫️Lower left spinal contour - left lower lobe ⁣ ⁣ IF ANY OF THESE CASES HELPED YOU IN A REAL LIFE CASE I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW ABOUT IT IN THE COMMENTS!⁣

Read on for some tips that helped me with AXR interpretation! ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ ‍This is something I found challenging as a student but by using a structured system it becomes more straight forward. I highly recommend using a system, the system I use is the mnemonic AC POP:⁣ ⁣ AIR⁣ ▫️Track every lucency you can see on the X-ray. Does every focus of gas look like it is in the bowel? If not there could be a perforation. Triangles of gas are bad news and commonly reflect extraluminal gas⁣ ▫️Is there a Rigler sign? Ie can you see both the inner and outer bowel wall - this can be tricky in more subtle cases ⁣ ▫️Is the bowel dilated? Small bowel can measure up to 3 cm, large bowel 5 cm and caecum up to 9 cm. If dilated we need to decide whether this represents a complete mechanical obstruction - a lack of gas within the rectum can help although the presence of rectal gas does not exclude a significant obstruction⁣ ▫️Dilated small bowel tends to be central with valvulae conniventes traversing the whole bowel wall. Dilated large bowel peripheral with haustra that don’t traverse the whole wall⁣ ▫️Is there pneumatosis? This is a mottled lucency which represents gas in the bowel wall and commonly a sign of ischaemia - if present check the liver for branching peripheral lucency representing portal venous gas ⁣ ⁣ CALCIFICATION⁣ Look for abnormal calcification in the following places:⁣ ▫️Pancreas in chronic pancreatitis⁣ ▫️Appendicolith in RIF⁣ ▫️Gallstones/kidney stones⁣ ▫️Outline of a calcified AAA⁣ ⁣ PSOAS⁣ ▫️Try and outline the psoas muscles. These can be expanded in abscess or haematoma. Gas outlining the psoas can be a sign of a perforation affecting a retroperitoneal structure such as ascending or descending colon⁣ ⁣ ORGANOMEGALY AND SOFT TISSUE⁣ ▫️See if you can outline an enlarged liver/spleen or kidney (as in polycystic kidney disease)⁣ ▫️You may see effaced bowel due to a soft tissue mass⁣ ⁣ PELVIS AND SPINE ⁣ ▫️Important! Don’t miss a fracture!⁣ ⁣ ———-⁣ ⁣ ‍My advice would be to try and look at as many abdominal X-Rays as possible and use a system and I promise that you will become more confident once you know you have looked for all of the major pathology

#Repost @theradiologistpage with @get_repost ・・・ Read on for a system I use when looking at an AP knee X-Ray…⁣ ⁣ THE AP KNEE X-RAY⁣ ‍As always no assessment is complete without looking at a second view but in terms of assessing the AP view, this is a strategy I use. The first point I’d make is that you want to start by orientating yourself - identifying which side is lateral by looking at which side the fibula lies on - this marks out the lateral side of the knee⁣ ⁣ 1️⃣Soft tissues: scan the image for any soft tissue swelling - this can lead you to the site of any fracture⁣ ⁣ 2️⃣Alignment: draw a vertical line down from the most lateral margin of the femur - you should only see a maximum of 5 mm of the tibia to the lateral aspect of this line. If there is more than this (i.e. too much of the tibia is lateral) then suspect a fracture of the tibial plateau⁣ ⁣ 3️⃣Tibial plateau: the tibial plateau involves the articular surfaces of the medial and lateral tibial condyles and the central intercondylar eminence. Fractures of this region most commonly affect the lateral tibial plateau so look closely here. These fractures may be subtle and can present as just a faint sclerotic line due to overlapping bone so zoom in and interrogate for any disruption in the cortex. Make sure you include the intercondylar eminence in this step!⁣ ⁣ 4️⃣Segond fracture: look for a fragment of bone lateral to the lateral tibial plateau, above the fibula head and just below the joint line. This can represent an avulsion injury secondary to anterior cruciate ligament injury ⁣ ⁣ 5️⃣Proxima fibula: look closely for a subtle fracture of the head or neck. Don’t forget proximal fractures of the shaft of the fibula can be associated with ankle fractures (Maisonneuve fracture)⁣ ⁣ 6️⃣Patella: look for a fracture but remember that this can be mimicked by a bipartite patella - a normal variant. Here there will be the appearance of a ‘fracture’ in the superolateral patella⁣ ⁣ Finish by outline all remaining cortices and looking for signs of a mass or lesion within the bone ⁣ ⁣ CHECK OUT @theradiologistpage FOR MORE ANATOMY POSTS⁣ ⁣ #theradiologistanatomy⁣ ⁣ #radiology #theradiologist #medicalstu
