Pneumothorax Chest X-ray

Pneumothorax Chest X-ray

First, log on to the ucsf radiology learning module. Then click on the link below.

PNEUMOTHORAX

http://www.radiology2.ucsf.edu/academics/learning_ctr/syllabus/12/fig_html/10_18.html

TOPICS:
IMAGE 10.18 – This chest x-ray was obtained after a patient in a motor-vehicle accident experienced severe sudden chest pain. He has developed a pneumothorax on the left side. You can clearly see the margin of the collapsed lung. The sharp line represents the visceral pleural surface of the lung (arrows). No vessels are seen extending beyond this level.

TENSION PNEUMOTHORAX

http://www.radiology2.ucsf.edu/academics/learning_ctr/syllabus/12/fig_html/10_12.html

TOPICS
IMAGE 10.12 – Tension Pneumothorax A pneumothorax is present here, with air between the chest wall and the visceral pleural surface (arrows) of the partially collapsed right lung. This air is under considerable tension and it expands the right hemithorax (compared to the left) and pushes the heart and mediastinum to the left. Also, the right hemidiaphragm is depressed and the right intercostal spaces are wider than on the left.
