1 Slide 1 Chest X ray interpretation David O Neill MSc BSc RN NMP FHEA Associate Lecturer Cardiff University (Non Medical Prescribing) Respiratory Advanced Nurse Practitioner Royal Gwent Hospital Newport Slide 2 Learning Outcomes Understand role of chest x-rays in acute care Review surface anatomy of the lungs Identify normal structures on an x-ray Recognise the types of densities in chest x- ray Understand the steps involved in interpreting a chest x-ray Interpret examples of X rays you may be asked to review Slide 3 Clinical Patient Assessment Clinical Patient Assessment (CPA) involves: Patient history (75-85% of diagnosis stems from this) Clinical examination Formulating a working diagnosis Differential diagnosis Choosing appropriate investigations EVALUATION OF THE ABOVE (Longmore et al 2002)
2 Slide 4 X ray in acute care Used to evaluate for: NORMALITY Consolidation (Pneumonia) Pneumothorax Atelectasis Pleural effusion (including haemothorax) COPD TUBERCULOSIS MALIGNANCY POSITIONING OF MEDICAL DEVICES Slide 5 Be systematic Some anatomical structures in the chest should be assessed on every chest x-ray Each of these anatomical structures should be viewed using a systematic approach There are also important structures that are obscured or become visible only when abnormal Slide 6 Mnemonic Some Body Lost My Toy Dinosaur S=Skin B=Bones L=Lungs and pleura M=Myocardium (Heart) T=Trachea D=Diaphragm
3 Slide 7 Visible structures How many anatomical structures can you see on this x-ray? Can you think of any important structures in the chest that are difficult to see on the x-ray? Visible structures 1 - Trachea 2 - Aortic knuckle 3 - Scapulae 4 - Hila 5 - Lungs 6 - Heart 7 - Ribs 8 - Breasts 9 - Diaphragm 10 - Stomach Slide 8 Obscured structures Important obscured structures Sternum Oesophagus Spine Pleura Fissures Aorta Slide 9 Chest x-ray anatomy Many structures of the chest are readily visible Others, are difficult to see. Some important structures, such as the phrenic nerve, are not visible at all. The pleura, only become clearly visible when abnormal. Trachea and major bronchi Are visible on most good quality chest x-rays. Contain air and so are of lower density (blacker) than the surrounding soft tissues. The trachea branches at the carina, into the left and right main bronchi, and these can often be followed as they branch beyond the hila and into the lungs. TRACHEA SHOULD BE CENTRAL
4 Slide 10 Assessing airways Normal chest x-ray The trachea and bronchi are visible - branching at the carina The trachea passes to the right of the aorta and so may be slightly off mid-line to the right Slide 11 Normal chest x ray If the trachea is deviated, is this because: The patient has been incorrectly positioned (rotated), There is pathology. If the trachea is genuinely deviated you should then try to decide if it has been pushed or pulled by a disease process. Slide 12 Hilar structures Each hilum contains major bronchi and pulmonary vessels There are also lymph nodes on each side (not visible unless abnormal) The left hilum is often higher than the right If a hilum is out of position, ask yourself if it has been pushed or pulled As well as position - check the size and density of the hila
5 Slide 13 Pleura & pleural spaces The pleura and pleural spaces are only visible when abnormal Lung markings should reach the thoracic wall Trace round the entire edge of the lung where pleural abnormalities are more readily seen Start and end at the hila Is there pleural thickening? Is there a pneumothorax? The lung markings should be visible to the chest wall Is there an effusion? The costophrenic angles and hemidiaphragms should be well defined Slide 14 Chest X ray anatomy The left lung has two lobes and the right has three Each lobe has its own pleural covering The horizontal fissure (right) is often seen on a normal frontal view The oblique fissures are often seen on a normal lateral view Slide 15 Surface anatomy R Lung
6 Slide 16 Costophrenic angles The costophrenic angles are limited views of the costophrenic recess On a frontal view the costophrenic angles should be sharp Slide 17 Diaphragm The hemidiaphragms are domed structures Each hemidiaphragm should be well defined The left hemidiaphragm should be visible behind the heart The hemidiaphragm contours do not represent the lowest part of the lungs Slide 18 Cardiac assessment The heart size is assessed as the cardiothoracic ratio (CTR) A CTR of >50% is abnormal - PA view only The left hemidiaphragm should be visible behind the heart
7 Slide 19 Soft tissue Assess the soft tissues on every chest x-ray Thick soft tissue may obscure underlying structures Black within soft tissue may represent gas Slide 20 Bones Assess the bones on every chest x-ray Check for abnormalities of single bones and for diffuse bone disease The bones are helpful in assessing the quality of the chest x-ray Slide 21 Clavicles, spinous processes and ribs Clavicles are clearly seen on a chest x-ray. Spinous processes of the vertebrae (posterior structures) should lie midway between the medial ends of the clavicles (anterior structures). If the spinous processes are not central, the patient is rotated, that is, positioned obliquely to the x-ray beam. The anterior and posterior ends of the 5th rib are also shown.
8 Slide 22 Ribs The anterior end of approximately 5-7 ribs should be visible above the diaphragm in the mid-clavicular line. Less than this indicates an incomplete breath in, and more than 7 ribs or flattening of the diaphragm, suggests lung hyper-expansion. Slide 23 Assessing the lungfields The lungs are assessed and described by dividing them into upper, middle and lower zones Refer to 'zones' not 'lobes' Compare left with right Compare an area of abnormality with the rest of the lung on the same side Note that the lower zones reach below the diaphragm. This is because the lungs pass behind the dome of the diaphragm into the posterior sulcus of each hemithorax. Slide 24 Densities Different tissues have different density on X ray Bones are white Lung tissue is 99% air and is black Blood vessels give the lacy pattern (1%)
9 Slide 25 Interpretation of CXR Basic interpretation is EASY. They are either: TOO WHITE TOO BLACK TOO LARGE IN THE WRONG PLACE Slide 26 Technical details Check the patient name Date of X ray Whether its PA or AP Check Left/Right marker Check for Rotation (clavicles not equally positioned) Check exposure/penetration Slide 27 Consolidation Compare the left and right upper, middle and lower lung zones Decide which side is abnormal Compare an area of abnormality with the rest of the lung on the same side The whiter side is not always the abnormal side
10 Slide 28 Pleural disease- too white Pleura only become visible when diseased Slide 29 Air fluid interface too white/black Slide 30 Too black
11 Slide 31 Too large Slide 32 Too large Slide 33 In the wrong place
12 Slide 34 Pneumoperitoneum Slide 35 Checklist 1 Check patient name, position, technical quality. Soft tissue including breast, chest wall, companion shadow. Review soft tissues and skeletal structures of shoulder girdles and chest wall. Review abdomen for bowel gas, organ size, abnormal calcifications, free air, etc. Review soft tissues and spine of neck. Review spine and rib cage: check alignment, disc space narrowing, lytic or blastic regions, etc. Slide 36 Checklist 2 Review mediastinum: overall size and shape trachea: position margins: SVC, ascending aorta, right atrium, left subclavian artery, aortic arch, main pulmonary artery, left ventricle lines and stripes: paratracheal, paraspinal, paraesophageal (azygoesophageal), paraaortic retrosternal clear space Review hila: normal relationships size
13 Slide 37 Checklist 3 Review lungs and pleura: compare lung sizes evaluate pulmonary vascular pattern: compare upper to lower lobe, right to left, normal tapering to periphery pulmonary parenchyma pleural surfaces fissures - major and minor - if seen compare hemidiaphragms follow pleura around rib cage Slide 38 Examples 1 Slide 39 Examples 2
