Question:

What are the chest imaging techniques used in pt with respiratory disease?

Author: H K



Answer:

CXR typical (cheap and revealing) but more for outer lesions, for airway more bronchoscopy. we see infiltrations, pleural disease, hilum and mediastinum... we can also use a CT for more sensitivity for small lesions. Chest US is also used bed side (in ICU, out patients) for pleural fluid/ pneumothorax/ pneumonia... other imagings may be used (PET, MRI, angiography)
