    • @ThoracicRadiology
      @ThoracicRadiology  2 роки тому +1

      Hi, most chest CT scans don't go down far enough to see the entire pancreas. It will show the entire heart but not in great detail. Because the heart is beating while the scan is being done, the heart usually comes out blurry. There are special heart scans that can take a picture of the heart without blurring.

    • @ThoracicRadiology
      @ThoracicRadiology  2 роки тому +2

      Great question. There is a wide variation in densities on CT from very dense (metals) to low density (air). But there are only so many shades of grey your eyes can perceive. When viewing a CT, there are lots of preset windows for certain tasks. For looking at the brain for stroke, for example, you want narrow windows that amplify the visual difference between grey and white matter. If you were to use wide windows that show calcium as white and air as black, the shades of grey will be spaced out too far so that subtle difference between grey and white matter will be lost.

Like, do you only mention the pathological things or do you name every structure and say that its normal looking? i'm having real difficulties organizing my findings.. should i stick to my routine (top to bottom) or should i mention the important things first and then go on with the other ones? so confusing 😂

    • @ThoracicRadiology
      @ThoracicRadiology  4 роки тому +1

      I use a template with the normal findings already in there and if there is something abnormal I replace that one thing with the finding that I see. The template that I use does not align exactly with my search pattern so I end up starting in the middle of my template, then the top, then bottom.

      There are many types of chest scans and heart scans. If you are talking about CT, the heart scan will include part of the lungs too. Radiation is not usually an issue as most centers nowadays take precautions to reduce the amount of radiation to the amount just needed to achieve the diagnosis.

      Not sure the rates they are missed. But when they are small, like less than 1 cm, we can't always tell they are cancers. That's why we need a follow up study a lot of times. We rely on the growth to distinguish cancer from non cancer.

      There is something called vaping-associated lung injury (VALI). This can be seen on CT, but it is usually associated with certain THC-based vape products that are manufactured with inferior ingredients. We saw a lot of cases in late 2019, but many of those products have been taken off the market, and we haven't seen many since. I glad you quit.

    how much of the liver can you see in a chest ct? can you diagnose or see cirrhosis in a chest ct?

    • @ThoracicRadiology

      A chest CT will show a good chunk of the liver. If the cirrhosis is advanced you can see it on a chest CT. But if it is in the early stages, you probably won't.

      @@ThoracicRadiology Thanks for the reply.. i had right kidney cancer surgery years back and for the past at least 8 years i know of on my liver they keep calling this spot they see "Coarse or some saying dystrophic" calcifications in the upper right lobe of the hepatic dome depending on who reads them and even one scan saying -Again seen in the dome of the liver as the poorly enhancing foci corresponding to the dystrophic calcifications better seen on CT scan. i have had mri and ct scans am trying to find out what this means and what caused it if it's something to worry about ?scars from my cancer surgery? or because i have drink lots in the past, could it be cirrhosis? also should mention they said i have fatty liver and i also have cyst they seem to be inherited because my dad and a few of us have cyst if you could explain what could cause Coarse or dystrophic or poorly enhancing foci in the liver a little it be much appreciated :) worried it could be cirrhosis liver disease

    Was this CT scan done with oral and IV contrast or none at all?

    Dear Sir,
    I have been suferring from severe breathlessness on exertion after having corona. My SpO2 level at rest is fluctuating from 93 - 97%. It's comming down to 70% during walking. It has been six months since I contracted the deadly virus. I had my HRCT scan done but the doctors are telling it's normal.
    Please check my HRCT scan for any abnormalities and provide me with a path to get out of this suferring.
    Please help me
    Thanks

      Some people have difficulty breathing even with normal HRCT. CT can show some things but not everything. I would recommend seeing a lung specialist.

      Hi, sorry, but without more information I can't really be sure what it is. It could be one of many different things, and the patient would need to talk to their doctor to figure out if it is significant and if so, what to do next.

      Yes. Lung cancer screening is done without contrast

      If the CT is normal, no need to get more follow up CT. In my experience, COVID does not cause cancer. The risk of cancer from 3 CTs is negligible.
