how to give comments on CXR

the comments should include all of this

1. Plan CXR

2. P-A viem or A-P view

3. Patient was centralized or not

4. Find any fracture bones

5. Diaphragm condition

6. Costo pherinic angle condition

7. Cardio phrenic angle condition

8. Describe the hilum condition

9. Describe the heart

10. Determine the lung fills.

for example :

from this CXR (above), we know that this is P-A plan CXR..the equadistance between the medial end of both clavicles to the spinal column, inform us that the patient was well centralized..

now we can give comments about heart and lung fills..

if the patient was not well centralized, we can't give any comment about the heart and lung fills..

from this CXR, there is no fracture bones or dislocation joints.

the diaphragm was located well and the dome of the diaphragm was well observed..

the costo phrenic and cardio phrenic angles was normal, no accumulation of fluid or pleura effusion.

the hilum was hardly observed, so its is normal..no enlargement of hilum on the both side of lungs.

the heart was normal in size and well located..no cardiomegaly..

and the lung fills was full with milary nodes at the site of right hilum and distributed to the entire lungs..

from here we can conclude that this old female patient have Miliary TB..
