Case 1
Elderly patient with multiple medical problems, admitted from nursing home after requiring resuscitation.
Further Explanation:
For each case, fill out part of the table, considering the appearance of airways, lung parenchyma, pulmonary vasculature and pleura and enter descriptive adjectives for CXR and CT/other findings. Be sure to evaluate overall lung volume. For DESCRIBING abnormalities, consider their SHAPE, DENSITY and DISTRIBUTION, rather than trying to choose a specific diagnosis from the start.
Case 1
Choose a spokesman from your group to present your findings for this case during class discussion. Be sure to note what type of chest radiographs you are shown and how findings have changed over time. There are several abnormalities to note, so do not succumb to satisfaction of search (that is, don't stop looking after you make one finding).
