VMS3010 THORACIC RADIOGRAPHY CASES ENGAGEMENT SESSION GEORGINA CATLOW BVSC MRCVS THORACIC RADIOGRAPHY CASES My surrey attendance: HOW DO WE DESCRIBE CHANGES TO THORACIC RADIOGRAPHS? Distribution of change. Focal, multifocal, diffuse. Localisation – perihilar vs caudodorsal vs cranioventral. Are the changes airway related? What is the alteration in opacity? Air, soft tissue, fluid, bone, mineralisation. Is there mediastinal shift? Is the shift towards or away from the lesion? What lung pattern do you have? W H AT LU N G PAT T E R N I S T H I S ?
