View show details

When the lungs look "too white" on a chest X-ray, there are only a handful of major possibilities. In this episode of Don't Miss That Radiology we introduce a simple framework to approach pulmonary opacities by asking one key question:

Is it blood, water, cells, or pus?

We'll cover

Pulmonary hemorrhage (blood)
Pulmonary edema (water)
Pulmonary neoplasms (cells)
Pneumonia (pus)

Practical imaging clues to help narrow the differential
A framework you can apply on exams and in clinical practice

We will also learn several signs including the silhouette sign, spine sign, air bronchogram sign, batwing sign and the marshmallow fluff sign

We'll finish it off with one of my favorite mnemonics for cavitary lesions. Spoiler alert the mnemonic is the word cavitys!!!
